Are you a tai chi, pilates, yoga or other wellbeing teacher looking for somewhere just a bit different? Or are you looking for somewhere rural, charming and informal to host a team away day?
We have options for you at our farm, a 10 minute drive into the country from Junction 29 M1 between Chesterfield and Mansfield. (Our lambs, goats and ponies are entirely optional...).
I can help you explore the psychology, philosophy and neuroscience of mindfulness and the benefits of mindful breathing, meditation, Hatha Yoga, QiGong and mindful walking here at the farm or via Zoom. I also lead Day Retreats from our farm. I can teach tailored sessions for your particular needs, or structured programmes like Oxford University's Finding Peace in a Frantic World course.
I'm Paulo. I'm a corporate / commercial lawyer turned university lecturer, therapist, coach and wellbeing consultant. I offer sessions from our farm between Mansfield & Chesterfield or from my clinic in Nottingham. I also work on Zoom or telephone. Clients at the farm can access quiet walks around the farm and woodlands. I offer a 'walk & talk' therapy option for anyone who feels it might be easier than face to face talking therapy.
Paulo worked as a commercial solicitor for two of the largest UK law firms after graduating from Oxford University and Nottingham Law School. He has an MSc in Psychology alongside his Coaching and Therapy qualifications. He works part-time at Nottingham Law School and his PhD focuses on the causes of psychological distress in lawyers (with an inevitable cross-over into other 'high demand' professions and occupations). This unique mix plus his own lived experience of a stress-induced breakdown informs his approach to his work with individuals and teams.
