Like minded friends Sarah Lomas and Kirsten West-Fisher are the co-founders of Minds under Development (MuD)

​

Sarah is a Gestalt Psychotherapist and BACP accredited counsellor/supervisor.

Sarah has been practicing mindfulness off and on since 2004.

However, since the onset of menopause in 2018 she found that mindfulness and meditation helped significantly with her symptoms. The menopause made Sarah re-evaluate her working life and brought her own mental health and self-care into sharp focus.

​

Kirsten has worked as a further education lecturer since 2001. She ‘discovered’ meditation and mindfulness through attending a mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) course in 2014. She has had a daily meditation practice and knows how essential this is for her health. Practicing in natural environments has given her a further understanding of the benefits it offers and she wants to share this with others. She enjoys walking, yoga, volunteering and cooking.
