Jules Garland Compassion
BSc.(Hons) Psychology (Lon)
MSc. Health Promotion (LSHTM)
Trained teacher Mindful Self-Compassion
Jules teaches the eight-week Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) course in person in Auckland and online. She participated in an eight-week MSC course in 2018 and feeling the benefits of the practices was inspired to become a teacher herself. She has a public health and health promotion background, has studied Positive Psychology and works in the disability field. Having a family member with autism and two others within her inner circle who acquired life-altering disabilities she knows how vital it is to focus on our own well-being as we look after and care for others. Jules has a deep commitment to optimizing her own well-being with a daily commitment to meditation, yoga, walking, listening to bird song and connecting with others. She spends time in nature whenever possible and her new joy is fly fishing. She loves the way mindfulness and compassion can be kept in the back pocket and brought out to practise in the moment as we move through the day and is passionate about sharing these practices with others.
