New Online Mindfulness Taster Sessions

Cath Ashby – Mindfulness Trainer
In collaboration with The Everyone Project, we’re delighted to have Cath Ashby, an experienced mindfulness expert, lead these sessions.

As someone living with chronic pain herself, Cath understands the transformative power of mindfulness, and it has since become a central part of her life.
