Nigel is our well-being practitioner, offering mindfulness, breathing and forest bathing services. 

Nigel has his own wellbeing consultancy, where he has helped adults and minors with problems such as stress, anxiety, concentration challenges, panic attacks, sleep disorders and busy minds.

Nigel spent many years working in the corporate world as a marketing specialist but, after a bout of unexpected illness, he embarked on a journey of self-discovery, resulting in training in breathing therapy and mindfulness. He recently added forest bathing to his range of services and is a fully qualified practitioner with the Institute of Forest Bathing. 

Nigel works with schools, adults and children and finds that childhood is the ideal time to learn new, healthy breathing and mindfulness habits, though of course it is never too late to learn. 

He is particularly passionate about the educational sector as he knows how important it is to reach children who are experiencing high levels of stress, but also to reach teachers and other school staff to enable them to model for the children and to keep themselves healthy.

Nigel has two adopted children who are now adults. They have a range of diagnoses and special educational needs and received a lot of help through their school years.  

He has chaired a fundraising committee and managed events in the past for schools for special educational needs and remains passionate about giving back to the educational system which so helped his girls.
