Mindfulness is about being present to the every day moments of our life, with a kindly and accepting awareness. Being mindful allows for a clearer understanding of how thoughts and emotions can affect our quality of life.
Studies show that we are happier when we are present; and that mindfulness – paying attention to what is happening in the present moment - can significantly improve our well being and help reduce stress and anxiety both in the body and mind.
Benefits of mindfulness include:
- Improved mood
- A boost to the immune system
- Increased relaxation
- Decreased feeling of overwhelm
- Increased confidence
- Increased self compassion
It can also feel like taking time to do something for yourself and feeling more in control, learning how to make choices that support well-being, now and in the future, in good times and when tough days return.
Jane is a mindfulness teacher and is trained in MBSR ( Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction); MBCT (Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy) and MBCT for Cancer, 8 Week Mindfulness Courses which she teaches on behalf of a breast cancer charity, offering people with cancer a means to bring mindfulness and kindliness into their lives.

My name is Kelly Smith and I’m the salon owner of Studio K Hairdressing. I have over 23 years experience in hairdressing, which includes 16 years as an Art director, NVQ assessor and Strength and Style consultant at Toni & Guy. Training as a Strength and Style consultant gave me experience and knowledge of all aspects of hair when going through cancer treatment.
I can offer a friendly, informal question and answer session to hopefully help with some questions you may have in relation to hair and offer advice if needed.
