Bob is a superb meditation teacher who is compassionate, wise and straightforward. All the assets of a buddha. Cannot recommend him enough and his kindness of running free sessions throughout Covid demonstrates his virtues and qualities.

I have been attending Bob's meditation class on Zoom for some months now, and I wouldn't miss a session!I have long thought that I would benefit from a regular meditation practice, but never felt I was making much progress with it. With Bob it is all beginning to fall into place, and every week I am learning something new. This work is now making a massive difference to my life.Bob has a lovely manner and conducts the classes with assurance and ease. I thoroughly recommend him to all.

I found Bob to be a calm teacher, he is patient, thorough and considerate of the experience of the group. I enjoy the sessions and it starts my week off with a positive start. I have learnt useful things that I have carried over into my everyday life - thank you Bob.

How do I explain mindfulness?I don’t have the official big words in my mind to explain the technicality of how it works, so all I can do is tell you how it makes ME feel…We all need a restful space to go to when life’s difficulties gets the better of us…stress and illness play a huge part in our daily lives and I was offered mindfulness to help with mine…My favourite hour of the week now is MY TIME on Wednesdays at 8-9 pm and I look forward to it all week. Who would have thought that the solutions to my problems lies within me and all I needed to do was be helped to a relaxed state of mind to enable me deal with them.The class involves a zoom meeting and the group are all nice friendly people. For that hour my mind and body feel so relaxed and at peace and I have a different guided focus to the overwhelming worries that are usually being jostled around my brain and fighting for attention.. Our instructor Bob guides us through the hour with great calmness. He has a very soothing voice and could be reading a telephone directory and make it sound interesting. I still don’t understand some of the words that are spoken but I enjoy the restful feeling they have on me. I also enjoy hearing about the experiences that the rest of the group feel too. It’s very interesting and we all feel things differently. Also being on zoom it has the benefit of being in the warmth and comfort of your own home and I’m always guaranteed a better nights sleep on a Wednesday.The sessions are really helping me and I enjoy them very much. To anyone thinking of trying to learn mindfulness skills for whatever reason, join in and have a go. I’m so glad I did.

I did a few sessions of mindfulness coaching with Bob and have taken part in his free weekly mindfulness sits.Bob is teaching according to Shinzen Young's Unified Mindfulness system. UM is s very specific, practical system which helps you to experience life as fully as possible. His instructions are clear. You can sense that Bob is practicing what he preaches, and that he has a substantial amount of training and teaching experience under his belt.

Bob is an extremely knowledgeable mindfulness coach. There is a lot to learn, however, he takes lessons at a pace tailored to your experience and level of understanding. I have now had a number of sessions and each time I come away with new skills to practice, all of which have helped me progress my meditation and wellbeing. Don't hesitate to contact Bob if you are just starting or want to develop your understanding further.

I've found Bob's mindfulness sessions to be extremely rewarding. I've tried various 'ways-in' to meditation and mindfulness over many years and 'Unified Mindfulness' is the framework that really works for me.As I'm a beginner I'm especially grateful that Bob offers plenty of opportunities to ask questions. In fact Bob encourages questions and is able to respond, having really listened, in such a way that I can more fully understand my experience.Whilst taking a thoroughly professional approach to the practice, Bob makes plenty of room for all the human responses that show up when we meditate. Meditating with Bob is a safe and enjoyable experience which I really value.

Bob is an experienced and engaging teacher. You can expect to learn new techniques pitched to the experience level of the audience. The guidance is pragmatic none preachy and light hearted. Participants are encouraged to share their own experience in a safe and judgment free environment. I always come from the sessions feeling lighter.

Bob's meditation instruction and guidance is great! He teaches in the framework of Shinzen Young's Unified Mindfulness, which is suitable for anyone from any background and of any experience level. His teaching technique is clear, straightforward, and down to earth. There's no woo" here
