HI, I'M CHRISTOPH
Mindfulness changed my life (following a panic attack on a busy Manchester tram).
That’s why I teach it.
Perhaps it might change your life too. Or your organisation.
With my Mindfulness workshops, courses, and talks, I aim to bring secular, evidence-based Mindfulness to individuals and corporate teams in a practical and usable way.
I am grateful for your interest in my work. Thank you for visiting my website.

PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK
"Kind, inclusive, respectful, professional. A well-held safe space."
MBSR participant
"I came to the course not having a great deal of mindfulness but I was aware that I wanted to try something to make me not feel the way that I was at that time. The course helped me to recognise signals & and how to deal with them head-on and how to incorporate mindfulness into my day-to-day existence."
MBSR participant
"Christoph is emphatic and compassionate, someone who is very easy to connect with. He is an active listener and holds space for everyone on the course to contribute or to catch up with any activity. I was very touched by his inclusivity and sensitivity; the way he supported every individual was really wonderful. I feel very fortunate to be able to join him and my fellow students on this recent course."

Christoph was one of our speakers at this year’s Atmosphere Festival in Worcester and gave a fascinating talk on Mindfulness. Christoph is a natural communicator with a wonderfully gentle delivery style, he clearly knows his stuff and our audience were thoroughly engaged with Christoph's talk. He was a pleasure to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again on future projects."
