NEW "Mindfulness-Based Sleep Therapy" 6 Week Group Program

The "Mindfulness-Based Sleep Therapy" (MBST) program is an experiential and psycho-educational group course designed to help people with insomnia or otherwise unsatisfactory sleep to sleep well again.

Rooted in core mindfulness philosophy and practices, MBST also incorporates elements from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i), Sleep Hygiene Guidelines and Health & Wellness Coaching.

Having researched sleep both personally and professionally for over 25 years, and having worked with hundreds of people in my mindfulness courses, sleep therapy and health coaching practice, I have developed this program to combine the most important information and most effective practices, scientifically proven to help you sleep well again.

What you will learn:
- The science behind sleep, different sleep stages (REM & NREM) and how our sleep architecture changes as we age.
- How diet and lifestyle factors including light, caffeine and technology really impact our sleep.
- How to create the optimal sleep environment.
- The role of daytime rest in our night-time sleep.
- Short, simple mindfulness practices to help you effortlessly build meaningful rest periods into your daily life, as you go.
- Breathing exercises to reset your nervous system and help you wind down or fall back to sleep during the night.
- And much more....

Side Effects! :) Please note - Partaking in the MBST program may cause the following:
- Increased feelings of inner peace, happiness, self-acceptance and gratitude.
- Improvements in creativity, clarity of thought, focus and concentration.
- Enhancements in communication, empathy, compassion and relationships.

- Improvements in pain management and general health & well-being.

Testimonials from Past "Mindfulness for Life" 8 Week Program

The "Mindfulness for Life" program was a mindfulness meditation course that I developed and delivered to the general public in Cork from 2014 - 2020 until the pandemic forced me to end my in-person group-work. It was a popular course integrating elements from Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Neuroscience and Positive Psychology. These are some of the testimonials from participants on the final course of 2020.

"I am a different person since this course - I just can't believe it. This was the best investment I have ever made in my life."

"This course more than exceeded my expectations! I didnt realise how vast the potential benefits would be. I loved the atmosphere where it was held, your endless knowledge on so many subjects, that you backed up a lot of points with science - so interesting! I have already recommended this course to lots of people! The fact that it has more or less cured my anxiety, has helped me be more assertive, helped me reflect and recall memories more clearly and I dont get worked up about things half as easily."

"The course exceeded my expectations in that I didnt expect such a fast turnaround in 8 weeks in my anxiety. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to spend more time on their own mental health, spirit and nourishment of the body."

"Exceeded my expectations. It encompassed a lifetime of personal development- I loved it all! I would 100% recommend Jean's mindfulness course. It has been the best gift I have given myself. I feel more grounded and focused."

"This course really built on the introductory day in Kinsale. I enjoyed it all! After so many stop/start experiences with meditation, the science behind it was a wake-up call to believe in it and be committed. I feel much more calm, non reactive, aware, and realise this is just the beginning! Thank you Jean"

"This course exceeded my expectations. I cant think of anything to improve it, it was an excellent experience from start to finish! I would certainly recommend it. I've enjoyed much better sleep, more relaxed and focused. Taking in my surroundings more. More patience."
