About Presence of Mind

A bit about Lucy Woods…

Before I founded Presence of Mind, I was a Training Manager for two major newspaper and magazine publishers for more than 20 years. Having always sought to “fix” my own anxiety and pain issues, I discovered the benefits of practicing Mindfulness approximately 9 years ago.

After redundancy, it seemed fated that I should combine my training skills with my passion for the transformational effects of Mindfulness. I qualified to teach Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction with Mindful Academy International, and I went on to complete the 4 year Masters in Teaching Mindfulness from Bangor University (The Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice) studying under some of the most renowned experts in Mindfulness in the UK.
