Introducing Alison Bale, BSc - Isle Health's Mindfulness specialist
"Hello! I teach mindfulness and meditation to individuals and groups. I also train mindfulness teachers.
All of us face challenges and upheavals. Mindfulness can help us deal more skilfully and proactively with whatever life brings.
I have practiced meditation for more than 25 years. My own journey came about from recognising the problems of an overthinking mind. A desire to stop the cycle of ruminating about the past, and/or worrying about the future, that takes joy from the present.
I draw on neuroscience, neuroplasticty, pain science, evolutionary biology, epigenetics and emotional intelligence, and my work is informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy, and traditional philosophy.
I also draw on my experience as a communication consultant, chiropractor, and a business owner in the UK and India. Founding and growing a therapy business in a foreign country has required integrity, perseverance, dependability and a sense of adventure.
When I am not working, I run half marathons, practice yoga, love to travel, cook, learn Portuguese, read, study philosophy, stitch, go to the cinema and the theatre. I also enjoy horse riding, snorkelling and walking."
