About Claire Griffin – Mindfulness Teacher and Supervisor

Hi, I’m Claire and I’ve been practicing Mindfulness now for 10 years and teaching it  since 2015. I qualified with the Mindful Academy Solterreno in Spain and I’m now a Certified MBSR Teacher and a member of their senior teacher training team, helping to teach other Mindfulness Teachers from around the world.

I teach mindfulness courses and workshops online to individuals and businesses in the UK and internationally. Additionally, I supervise others who are learning to be mindfulness teachers.

Based in West Sussex, I’m fortunate to live and work just a few hundred metres from beautiful Shoreham Beach.   Daily beach walks are one of my great enjoyments in life – and I’ve recently started cold water sea swimming and love it!

My Story

Before I discovered mindfulness, I  had a successful career working in executive search for the digital and data marketing industry. For more than 25 years, including a stint working on Wall Street,  I’d been used to the fast-paced agency world and the pressures of running my own business, most recently running it from home.

This often meant heavy workloads, long hours and tight deadlines. All of which eventually took its toll on and after some unexpected changes in my personal life and a family illness, I experienced what I now understand to be a burnout.

Looking for something to help with the anxiety and unhappiness I was experiencing,  I joined an 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course in 2013, which was a life-changing experience for me. Learning mindfulness had such a profoundly positive impact  that I felt I absolutely had to share the benefits of it with others.

That’s when I decided to pivot to becoming a Mindfulness teacher so that I could help others to experience the transformational power of this ancient practice.
