Hello 👋 Welcome to my world... it’s probably a bit too pink, but feel free to come on in and get comfy, everyone is welcome.I bang on about mindfulness and mental health A LOT!

We need to keep the conversations going and there is still so much to do.

Whilst I have you, if you have two minutes, time is running out to sign the petition to government asking for them to appoint an adult mental health ambassador and action group, so please do sign and share: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/621562

If you look after your organisations mental health and well-being I'd love to have a cuppa and a chat, please DM me or email: hello@amypolly.com

If you are a fellow ADHDer the new mindfulness for ADHD course is starting soon, more info here: https://www.amypolly.com/adhdlistIf you are a busy founder (or what I call 'the forgotten ones') please register here to be the first to know about the next 6 week course and the new mental health support that is in development: https://www.amypolly.com/founders

I’ve been practicing mindfulness for around ten years, and long story short, it’s been a game changer. I am now a teacher, speaker, author and mental health campaigner with mindfulness sitting at the core of everything that I do.

There are still so many misconceptions around mindfulness. It isn’t just meditation. It is a brain training. It’s a tool that can help in so many areas of life. I am here to bust the myths because not only can it help with managing our own mental health, but it can absolutely be a force for change when it comes to organisational culture and mental health too.

I am not a zen robot, I am a human being, just like you. I wanted to rebel against all this empty your mind BS as it is so much more and needs to be inclusive and accessible.

Believe it or not I have a corporate background as a fully qualified accountant, working in practice, as well as in the private and public sector, and I gave all that up in 2021 after almost 20 years!

My most recent role was as a senior leader in the Fire Service managing three departments and strategic lead for mental health and well-being, working on the creation and delivery of our wellbeing strategy.

My training in mental health, my role in fire, my position as a leader and my qualification as a mindfulness teacher led me to my passion; sharing the positive and lasting impact that mindfulness can bring to individuals and the workplace, if delivered in the correct way, and treated as an investment rather than a token gesture.
