About

Hello, I'm Annie

A mindfulness coach and meditation guide based in Dorset — here to help you find your way back to calm, clarity and yourself.

There's a particular kind of tired that rest doesn't fix. It's the exhaustion that lingers after a demanding career, a difficult season of life, or simply years of putting everyone and everything else first. I know it well — because I've lived it. My own path through stress and burnout taught me something I now spend my days helping others discover: that reconnecting with yourself isn't a luxury, it's the foundation everything else is built on.

After a career of over 30 years leading sales and marketing teams, I retrained in mindfulness. That previous experience shapes how I work today: with warmth, without judgement, and with a deep respect for the fact that everyone arrives carrying something different.

My work is about helping people find their way back — to calm, to clarity, and to a version of themselves that stress or circumstance may have crowded out. Whether you're navigating anxiety, rebuilding resilience, adjusting to retirement or a major life change, or trying to prevent burnout before it takes hold, the aim is the same: to help you feel steady, present, and genuinely well again.

However we work together, my approach is the same: practical, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that you already have what you need within you — sometimes it just needs space to resurface. There's no pressure to "fix" yourself, because you were never broken. You've just been carrying a lot.
