Mindfulness, Qigong & Zen‑inspired wellness for real people.

There is nothing alternative about wellness

Live with more calm, clarity, and connection. Mindful Being offers grounded, accessible mindfulness and Qigong for real people — without the fluff, without the woo-woo, and without the pressure to be anything other than yourself.

What I Offer

• Mindfulness Now & Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) — evidence‑based eight week courses for stress, anxiety, and resilience.
• Qigong — gentle, flowing movement for energy, grounding, balance, clarity and calmness.
• Wellness for Blokes — practical, stigma‑free wellness for men.
• Wellness Coaching
• Workplace Wellness — Mindfulness Now, MBSR and mindfulness programmes with proven results.

I have recently trained as a grief first aider and am undertaking a grief coaching course, more details on how I will offer these skills soon.

Why Mindful Being?

Because wellness shouldn’t feel alternative, awkward, exclusive, or mystical. It should feel human, practical, and doable.

I bring together:

• Mindfulness training (MBSR + Mindfulness Now)
• Shibashi Qigong
• Wellness coaching
• Acceptance Commitment Therapy
• Creative wellbeing (poetry, journalling, intention‑setting)
• Trauma‑informed, inclusive teaching

Testimonials

“The MBSR course has been incredibly valuable. Having dedicated time each week to learn and practise mindfulness has already improved my wellbeing. I’m very grateful for the opportunity – and Darren is a brilliant coach” Taken from BSMS Staff Newsletter

“I can’t recommend this course enough and I believe that every member of staff should participate, it would increase morale, productivity and encourage positivity. I used to think that I couldn’t meditate, I had tried, and I just couldn’t switch off, or get to a place where my mind was still. I realise that it just takes practice, now I make it part of my routine, it’s as important as getting showered and dressed every day. The tools, techniques, and wisdom I have gained from this course will stay with me for life and I have learned so much”

If money is tight and you will struggle to afford any of my sessions please do email me and we can discuss a rate that you can manage – wellbeing should not be an expensive luxury!

I am keen to do community or charity events, so please make contact if you think any of my sessions would benefit any one or any groups who would not be in a position to pay for mindfulness, mediation or qigong.

My holistic approach empowers participants to find happiness and emotional balance. Whether working with individuals or groups, I can provide tailored sessions in-person, online, in community or corporate settings, ensuring accessible and transformative support for all.
