K. WILBOURN - MINDFULNESS

Hello, I'm Karen.

I am a Mindfulness and Compassion teacher and Mental Health First Aider with added training in Mindfulness for Children and Young Adults.

1:1 MINDFULNESS & COMPASSION SESSIONS

Online or in person - £40 per hour session in person or £35 online/video call.

I focus on self-confidence and resilience, self-esteem, and support with anxiety and panic attacks. I am a huge advocate of 'The Mindfulness Stop Technique', the ability to pause, think, focus, and take a breath before moving forward..

If you find yourself needing to talk to someone confidentially, please don't hesitate to reach out. Whether you're struggling with confidence, direction, or self-esteem, I'm here to help. I am compassionate and well-equipped to provide support and guidance. I understand that everyone faces challenges, and it's okay to seek help. You are not alone in your journey, and taking the step to reach out is a sign of strength and courage. Our conversations are private, ensuring you have a safe space to express yourself freely. Remember, taking care of your mental health is as important as taking care of your physical health. I'm here to listen, support, and help you find the clarity and peace you deserve. DBS ENHANCED.

In person or online, Mon to Fri 9-4pm. Please email me at quackmedia.co.uk

YOU CAN FIND ME ON FACEBOOK: Quack Media and Karen Wilbourn Mindfulness, where I have started a monthly talk, offering tips, support, and mindfulness information. If what I post helps one person, then I'll be happy.

CHILDREN'S BOOKS -

THE SWIMMING LESSON & THE FOOTBALL GAME

My first children's book 'The Swimming Lesson' was released in Nov 2023. One of many I wrote over ten years ago. This first book follows Hattie age 5, and her new swimming lesson, suitable for children age 3+.

My second book in this Series, 'The Football Game' follows Billy, his dad, coach, and brother as he tackles his nerves and expectations of play well in his local football game.  This new book is a full 32-page picture book, unlike 'The Swimming Lesson', a short story of 16 pages, hence the higher price.

These books promote well-being and confidence in young children.

All my books will aim to guide children through times of uncertainty, explaining to them that all children feel a little afraid or unsure at times and offering simple ways in which to cope or understand why they feel the way they do. There is a gentle thread of mindfulness throughout the book. A confidence-boosting, feel-good inspiring book for young children.

SCHOOL VISITS

I am happy to visit schools in the Leicestershire area, to read my books to primary school-age or older nursery school children. Books can be purchased on the day with prior planning. If you would like more information about my books, please contact me at quackmedia@hotmail.com
