About
Michelle Strain
MBLC Approved Teacher
I discovered mindfulness in 2010, when a colleague introduced it during a team development session. My interest has been incremental since this time. My passion is now to bring the benefits of mindfulness to as many people as possible.
MindfullyMe was founded by myself, Michelle Strain in 2019. Having established a regular mindfulness practice as a means of managing the stresses of work and daily life, I wanted to share the life changing benefits far and wide. I commenced the teacher training programme with the Mindfulness Association and am now an accredited Mindfulness Based Living teacher.
On an individual basis, mindfulness can be a powerful self-care tool. While mindfulness implemented systemically, in the workplace can be a means of creating a more supportive and compassionate team/organisational culture.
Whether you fully embrace daily meditation and living mindfully; or SIMPLY find that bringing awareness to your breath brings you some moments of stillness, I truly believe there is a space for mindfulness in all our lives – hence “MindfullyMe”.
So, what is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present and aware of what is happening, while it is happening. Sounds simple? However, think about how much of your life you spend doing one thing and thinking about something else? Or how much time and energy you use up, agonising about past events or worrying about the future?

Mindfulness
Course
"I have been having weekly Mindfulness sessions for nearly a year now, courtesy of my employer who introduced this at the beginning of lock down to support our staff working from home. This has now become absolutely key in terms of providing me with helpful tools and techniques for managing my thought processes and how I deal with difficult situations, and is definitely the highlight of my week!

Testimonials
"Encouraging and allowing the team to take time out of their already busy day has been a challenge. However, I can honestly say the benefits of weekly drop-ins have gone beyond my expectation. We now use some of the techniques in our work daily. Learning to "ground" ourselves, as we go into challenging meetings or situations, has not only reduced stress, but has consequently improved practice. Michelle was realistic and helped us to find ways of integrating mindfulness into our daily lives."
- SERVICE MANAGER
"I really want to thank you for constructing the program for us and guiding us through. I expect it may be difficult for you to get a sense of how effective the course has been because of the remote nature of how you had to deliver it but I can see the impact and benefit achieved quite clearly."
