About Mike

Hi, I’m Mike. Feel free to message me about my one-to-one meditation lessons or Corporate Meditation Workshops.


Meditation has made me a bit less stressed, more focused, and a touch happier. I want to share these potential benefits with you. And to show you that meditation may benefit your mental wellbeing and career goals. I’m accredited by the British School of Meditation (BSoM, Distinction), have personally meditated for several thousand hours, and have attended a variety of silent meditation retreats all over the world. I've run hundreds of meditation sessions with my clients, and my guided meditations have over a million listens on various platforms. I've taught mindfulness to the UK Houses of Parliament, ST Joseph's Hospice in London, financial firms (including Ethic), start-ups (Mojo, Cuvva, Clearscore), among many others.


I also continue to work as an independent economist, for both the research arm of ‘The Economist’ magazine and Fitch Solutions. By combining years of corporate and meditation experience, I attempt to make my Corporate Meditation Workshops accessible for your staff. And aim give them tools to improve their own mental wellbeing. Meditation is beneficial for most, but for those with pre-existing mental health conditions, I'd recommend consulting a mental health professional prior to practicing or deciding to engage in one-to-one lessons.

Mike's Testimonials

  • "Mike has been leading our community group sessions for 10 weeks and has made the process enjoyable, accessible, and relevant to a group not normally engaged in any form of meditation activity. He has a common sense and practical approach and has introduced us to a variety of mindfulness techniques as he appreciates the fact that there is no ‘one size fits all’ method. We have no hesitation in recommending him."

    Sanctuary Housing

  • "Excellent course and teaching - a great way to relax while also learning. Our Introduction to Meditation course has been informative while also providing us with time to put our new techniques into practice, in a safe and supportive environment. Highly recommend."

    Cuvva

  • "Mike has been running an online mindfulness meditation group for St. Joseph’s Hospice for almost two years which is attended by our patients and their carers, volunteers and staff. He also works one-to-one with individual patients and carers. Working with Mike provides a space for our community to help them manage their challenges and support those living with or working with those with life limiting illnesses. Mike’s professionalism and presence is greatly appreciated by all who practice mindfulness with him and he is a valued member of the team at the Hospice."

    St Joseph's Hospice

  • "Mike's morning meditation sessions have been such an amazing way to start our day as a team. They are not only deeply relaxing, but Mike is also a very inspiring and informative teacher - demonstrating how meditation can dramatically benefit all aspects of your life, and also talks about his own journey of practice and how he integrates it into everyday life."

    Augmentive

  • "We have great feedback about Mike's biweekly classes with us! The most recent session was a lovely class focused on finding pleasure in breathing and meditation to boost longer-term enjoyment of the practice. We even had a member of our South African team dial in and he loved it. "

    Clearscore

  • "I was lucky enough to attend two sessions with Mike on an Introduction to Meditation course. I was immediately put at ease by his warm, approachable style. At each stage of the practises he took us through, Mike was calming and centred and I felt safe. Each practice was explained as to its purpose and duration before we started. I really felt like I was in the room practising meditation, Zoom did not take away from the experience at all. Both the sessions I attended were a real high point in my week, the techniques Mike showed us were achievable and memorable and I have started to practise daily."
