Deirdre Keane

MBSR Coach

Since being introduced to mindfulness, Deirdre has experienced its transformative potential. While life remains life, her relationship with herself has become more wholesome and supportive. She is less reactive and more responsive to life’s challenges, finding greater ease in navigating the ever-changing circumstances of living.

​

Before attending her first MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) or MBCT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy) course, Deirdre knew little about mindfulness. Drawn by curiosity and the numerous benefits highlighted in scientific studies of these courses, she approached the practice with an open mind and a willingness to learn. The result was a series of powerful and positive changes.

​

Like many, Deirdre has experienced the highs and lows of life. MBSR was recommended to her during a particularly challenging period when her usual coping mechanisms were no longer effective. Realising that analysis alone could not resolve her struggles, she attended MBSR/MBCT classes and began her imperfect yet impactful mindfulness journey.

​

The practice transformed her inner world. It helped her navigate life as it unfolded, connecting her with an innate inner resourcefulness beyond her analytical mind. This experience sparked a desire to share the benefits of MBSR/MBCT with others. In October 2019, she began her Diploma in Professional Teacher Training in Mindfulness-Based Interventions at the Mindfulness & Compassion Centre, Dublin.
