What You'll Learn & Experience
Do you ever wish you could switch your mind off and simply feel calm again?
Perhaps you find yourself overthinking, worrying about the future, replaying conversations, or feeling overwhelmed by anxious thoughts and the physical symptoms of anxiety.
If so, you're certainly not alone.
Having experienced anxiety and overthinking myself, I understand just how overwhelming it can feel. Through my own healing journey, years of mindfulness practice, Neuro Transformation Therapy, and more than 25 years of supporting others, I've seen that lasting change is possible.
I created Finding Calm to share the understanding and practical tools that have made such a difference in my own life and the lives of so many of my clients.
During this warm and supportive two-hour workshop, you'll discover how to:
  • Understand why anxiety feels so real and what is happening in your mind and body.
  • Learn simple, practical techniques to calm your mind and support your nervous system.
  • Understand how neuroplasticity helps create new, healthier patterns.
  • Break the cycle of anxiety and overthinking using mindfulness, breathing and the ABC technique.
  • Explore the Circle of Control and learn where to focus your energy instead of getting caught in worry.
  • Create your own personalised Finding Calm Plan to support your wellbeing beyond the workshop.
  • Take home your Finding Calm Companion Guide, filled with key workshop teachings, reflection pages and practical exercises to continue your journey.
You'll be welcomed into a relaxed, supportive environment where there's no pressure to share anything you don't want to.
Whether you've experienced anxiety for many years or you're simply feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of yourself, practical tools you can use every day, and renewed confidence that positive change is possible.
Knowledge required
No prior experience is needed.
This workshop is suitable for beginners as well as anyone who has been struggling with anxiety, stress, or overthinking for some time. Whether you're new to mindfulness or you've tried other approaches before, you'll learn gentle, practical tools to better understand anxiety, calm your nervous system, and create lasting calm.

Hi, I’m Isabelle.
I know what it’s like to struggle with anxiety.
I know what it’s like to lie awake at night unable to sleep because your mind won’t switch off. To wake with a racing heart. To overthink conversations, worry about the future and wonder if you’ll ever feel like yourself again. To fear that the anxiety might last forever.
For many years, that was my life.
My own journey led me to mindfulness, personal growth and eventually Neuro Transformation Therapyâ„¢. As I began to understand more about the mind, mindfulness and the incredible ability our brains have to change, everything started to make sense.
My relationship with anxiety began to change.
I realised I didn’t need to keep trying to push it away. Instead, I learned to make room for it with kindness and compassion. The more I understood my anxiety, the less I feared it.
That changed everything.
It also inspired me to help others discover that there is hope and that lasting change is possible.
For over 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through teaching, mentoring and coaching. I’m a qualified Neuro Transformation Therapy™ Practitioner, Mindfulness Mentor and Coach, an Insight Timer teacher, and I’ve taught mindfulness in schools as well as working with adults from all walks of life.
I love teaching because there is nothing more rewarding than seeing someone begin to understand themselves with greater kindness and compassion. Watching people realise they’re not alone, begin to feel hopeful again, and leave with practical tools they can use in everyday life is a privilege.
My workshops are warm, welcoming and interactive. Together we’ll explore mindfulness, self-compassion and practical ways to understand anxiety, become more aware, begin creating new pathways and find greater peace in everyday life.
I truly believe we all have the capacity to create positive change. Sometimes we simply need the right understanding, the right tools and a little more kindness towards ourselves.
I want everyone who joins one of my workshops to leave knowing there is hope. No matter how long you’ve struggled, change is possible.
I’d love to welcome you to one of my workshops.
