Essential Change


Transformative Mindfulness

Transformative Mindfulness (TM) is a therapeutic modality that examines the route causes of physical, emotional and mental suffering. TM is registered under Transformative Mindfulness International.

Unless we turn towards the heart of what affects us then it will not change. However, the mind is a tricky subject! There are all sorts of defenses and habitual patterns it has to avoid looking at what is really there. By examining how information is stored in the body as metaphor, feelings, images, and words we can quite quickly and skillfully circumvent some of our oldest barriers to healing. This is the space in which transformation can begin to take place.

Using guided mindfulness visualization as well as arts-enabled modalities, TM can provide deep change.
