Dr Suchita Karthik (MBBS, MD, FRCPath) I am an accredited mindfulness practitioner and trainer. I have attained a mindfulness teacher training qualification from St. Johns College Oxford, affiliated to the licensing body - UK College of Mindfulness Meditation. I have also completed a Mindfulness Masterclass and Neuroplasticity and Mindfulness courses. I wish to integrate Mindfulness to help people improve their mental health and wellbeing and teach the mindfulness techniques to help cope better with conditions contributing to poor health- like stress, anxiety, depression, sleep deprivation and pain. Prior to taking on this role, I have successfully worked in the NHS for 14 years, delivering a quality diagnostic service. But felt something was amiss! As I am passionate about health and wellbeing, I wish to empower people take more control over their lives, help them live more fulfilling lives. Improve their mental health and wellbeing - teach them how to reduce the intensity of factors contributing to ill health. My mindfulness journey began as a quest to improve wellbeing. Preventative measures and holistic approaches are increasingly advocated in healthcare. Life style modifications, healthy diet, mindfulness and yoga are widely implemented to improve health and wellbeing. The mind and body link on improving health has been well established. That’s right- Healthy mind is healthy body After experiencing the life transforming benefits of practicing mindfulness first hand, I wish to promote mindfulness to enhance the mental, physical and emotional wellbeing of others. The benefits of practicing mindfulness are backed by a multitude of scientific studies. I will be offering personalised one to one sessions catering to individual needs and also working with small groups. All you need is the desire to take control of your life and willingness to engage.
