Elizabeth English

Elizabeth English (D Phil) draws on many years of personal meditation and mindfulness practice, along with her ordination within a Western Buddhist tradition, and her Masters and Doctoral research at Oxford University, studying Buddhist meditation texts.

For a decade, she taught meditation and mindfulness at Cambridge, as the University’s first Mindfulness Practitioner. She created a unique set of courses which were the subject of a large-scale research study (published in The Lancet PH, December 2017) showing significant benefits to students.

Elizabeth is a certified teacher of Mindfulness, Focusing, Somatic Experiencing (trauma therapy) and Nonviolent Communication. She integrates these at the heart of her consultancy: www.elizabethenglish.life

When she isn’t teaching or writing, Elizabeth enjoys classical song, historical fiction, and time spent with Cherub, her cocker spaniel, whose ‘Mindful Puppy Diaries’ appear in nine short episodes on video, to delight – and enlighten.
