What Clients say

"I always find myself relaxing and feeling inspired within the first few minutes of arriving for a session with Zangmo. She radiates warmth and joyfulness, with the stillness and vitality of someone who has clearly spent many years meditating. I’ve found her a very generous teacher for meditation, art business and life coaching, and find her one of those teachers who makes a big difference." 

- C.M. Norwich

​

"I want to thank Zangmo Alexander for her help and support with some serious issues in my life. She is a caring, supportive individual that can almost see into your soul. She has helped me clarify many recent issues plus helped with an "action plan" for dealing with these issues. Her coaching is incredibly astute and personal. I would recommend those of you considering coaching to contact Zangmo."

I am a qualified Coach, Art Teacher and Professional Artist with over fifteen years' experience studying and practising mindful awareness meditation.

 

I offer completely confidential Mindful Creativity Coaching and Mentoring sessions in person, online and by phone to help you discover who you really are, enabling you to live more creatively, joyously and compassionately. 

 

We can use a wide range of methods drawn from meditation, coaching, teaching, expressive art and therapeutic art as needed to help you clarify your deepest values, aspirations and beliefs and help you discover ways to express yourself that feel most meaningful and authentic.
 

The issues we can explore include but are not limited to:

  • Developing skills and confidence to get going with doing art work

  • Support going through a life transition, whatever age you are

  • Support on your path of healing, self discovery and personal development, enabling you to combine creative activity with ME, MS, physical disability, depression and stress

  • Help connecting with meaning and self discovery - explore integrating mindfulness, spiritual counselling, creative expression and coaching

  • Support going professional with creative practice, including making a business plan, or if you are already a creative professional, support with professional development to move your business forward, deepen and progress your creative work or change direction

  • Support for women: women often find difficulty giving themselves permission to nourish themselves through meaningful creative activities

  • Support in learning to balance creative work with other areas of your life, such as relationships, time management, physical health, social and family life and spirituality

  • Mindful Creativity Coaching as CPD personalised to focus on what you want to explore

What is Mindful Creativity Coaching?

Life Coaching and Mindful Creativity Coaching are conversations between the coach and client in a safe, informal, confidential atmosphere. As your coach or mentor I aim to support you in moving on with any issue in your personal, professional, creative and spiritual life.

 

This can be a simple direct process, or a more complex process helping you become more aware of negative thoughts and self limiting beliefs and discovering ways of turning these around to free your potential.

 

Depending on your interests, I offer a range of methods from my training and background in life coaching, mindfulness, meditation, art practice, therapeutic art, mental health and teaching to help you on your coaching journey.

About Mindfulness

Mindfulness involves being aware of and paying attention to what is happening, as it is happening.

This includes awareness of seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, tasting, thinking, feeling, and bodily energy as we experience them.

 

Mindfulness can be used in a secular way just to relax and improve health and well being, or it can also be part of a path of waking up to who we really are at the deepest level. Contrary to popular belief you do not have to be able to stop thinking in order to learn to do mindfulness meditation! We just need to be aware of whatever our experience is as it is happening.

 

By becoming more aware of ourselves, we begin to notice knee-jerk reactions to situations and challenges which cause us unnecessary suffering. With practice, our minds can begin to relax and become open to choosing new, more beneficial ways of responding.

 

With more practice we begin to appreciate ourselves and the world around us with more awareness, clarity, wisdom, love, joy and compassion. We make friends with ourselves and our experience.

​

The Origins of Mindfulness

While Mindfulness can be learned in a non religious way, it can be useful to understand the background to mindfulness. Mindfulness meditation is an awareness practice originating 2500 years ago in Buddhist meditation practices and other spiritual traditions worldwide. For Buddhists, meditation and mindfulness is a spiritual practice which can lead to enlightenment, or the full realisation of who we are in our essence.

​

The Benefits of Mindfulness

For centuries meditators, doctors and healers in eastern traditions have found that mindfulness and meditation improve health and well-being. Recent scientific research has documented how regular meditation and mindfulness helps many health problems, including heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, insomnia, chronic pain, cancer, immune problems, stress and depression. The NHS has now taken Mindfulness on board.

 

Mindful Life Coaching and Mindful Creativity Coaching

Mindful Life Coaching and Mindful Creativity Coaching aim to help you become more aware so that you are better placed to make choices that really help you integrate who you are with what you do. As an awareness tool, Mindfulness is an ideal partner to Life Coaching and Creativity Coaching in helping you to understand yourself better and enjoying life more.

 

Mindfulness learned from an experienced teacher or coach can really complement and deepen your coaching experience. As there are a lot of misunderstandings about what mindfulness and meditation really are, it is important to learn mindfulness or meditation from someone who is experienced with an established long term training and practice.
