Welcome to Creating Calm Minds
Hello!
My name is Debs, and I warmly welcome you to this space for calm, and mindful positive wellbeing. My background includes teaching psychology, counselling, and early years education, and I am now a qualified mindfulness and meditation teacher.
Mindfulness has made a meaningful difference to my own life and family, and I am passionate about sharing practical strategies that can help you find more calm in a busy and often chaotic world.
As a mum of two young children, one of whom is neurodivergent, I have seen first-hand how mindful approaches can support emotional regulation, connection, and everyday wellbeing.
I offer a range of services for adults and children, with details available below. Please explore what is on offer and get in touch when you are ready to begin your mindfulness journey.
