"My mindfulness practice has truly transformed my relationship with life as it unfolds moment by moment; the good, the bad and the ugly! It has been a real game changer.
Overall I am more compassionate and kinder to myself, I am more responsive, more aware of the pattens of my mind and have learnt to cultivate skilful habits that serve me well. As a GP I am more present and balanced during consultations, I am a better listener and more compassionate.
I have become a mindful GP."
