Hey There
Are you a hard-working veterinary professional that's heard all about mindfulness and wants to experience it for yourself?
Maybe you know all about the benefits of meditating but can’t seem to make it work for you?
Or maybe you're already a fan of mindfulness and you're now keen to bring it into the workplace ALL THE TIME?
If that sounds like you and you’re free 26-28th Sept 2025, I’d love to welcome you to my intimate Mindful Living Retreat.
I'm a veterinarian turned mindfulness coach, and I didn't used to think mindfulness worked for “people like me”.
I'd read a load of studies about how meditation helped healthy people to be subjectively happier, about how it reduces the size of the amygdala (the part of the brain involved in your stress response) so you feel less stress day-to-day and how it helps you focus, concentrate and make better clinical decisions… but even after meditating for two years, I didn't feel much different.
And then I went on a mindfulness retreat and everything made sense.
I realised mindfulness wasn't something you did “while on a mindful walk in nature” or for 10 minutes a day while meditating.
It's a way you can live your whole life. Every minute of it.
But while I experienced that on a retreat, I could never make the feeling last more than a few days.
It's taken me years to learn how to actually LIVE mindfully.
How to slow down the chatter in my head so I could relax and switch off as soon as I got home in the evenings rather than worrying about whether I did the right thing sending that case home.
How to trust myself to make the right decisions at work, rather than constantly double checking everything with a more senior vet.
How to enjoy the small moments in life, like the joy of a puppy vaccine or dinner with my partner, rather than only feeling good on special occasions when plans went perfectly (ie. never).
And that's why I became a mindfulness coach.
To teach others in the industry how to make mindfulness part of life ALL the time; so you can enjoy the life you spent so long working towards.
Testimonials from single day retreats - imagine the change in a whole weekend
"I came away from your day retreat feeling positive, with strategies I could easily implement into my busy life. And the day itself was so relaxing - a real treat! Thank you!'
"I didn't think I'd be the sort of person to go on a retreat day, but found myself thinking why not? I left the day feeling so calm with a much bigger appreciation for the small things in life, and several days later my head is still so much quieter than normal"
"One year on, the day retreat is still having a big impact on my life and helps me break out of bad cycles with overthinking or unhelpful thought processes"
In my Mindful Living Retreat, we'll have 48 hours together to actually BE mindful, so you experience how amazing it feels to live like this.
And while we're there, I'll teach you my 7-step MINDFUL ™ process to make it part of your life, all the time.
With only four guests, you'll have a HUGE amount of support.

"Lucy created such a relaxing atmosphere the whole weekend, that her giving us the tools and knowledge on how to be mindful felt like a chat with a friend."
