HI, I'M CHRISTOPH
Mindfulness changed my life (following a panic attack on a busy Manchester tram).
​
That’s why I teach it.
And it might change your life, too. Or your organisation.
With my Mindfulness workshops, courses, and talks, I bring secular, evidence-based, and neuro-affirmative Mindfulness to individuals and organisations in practical ways.​​
​
What is "Unmasked" Mindfulness?
​
I define Unmasked Mindfulness as exploring Mindfulness without suppressing your neurodivergent traits or without hiding your authentic self. This allows you to practice in ways that are accessible and effective for your own neurotype and personhood.

PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK
"Kind, inclusive, respectful, professional. A well-held safe space."

"I came to the course not having a great deal of mindfulness but I was aware that I wanted to try something to make me not feel the way that I was at that time. The course helped me to recognise signals & and how to deal with them head-on and how to incorporate mindfulness into my day-to-day existence."

"Christoph is emphatic and compassionate, someone who is very easy to connect with. He is an active listener and holds space for everyone on the course to contribute or to catch up with any activity. I was very touched by his inclusivity and sensitivity; the way he supported every individual was really wonderful. I feel very fortunate to be able to join him and my fellow students on this recent course."

Christoph was one of our speakers at this year’s Atmosphere Festival in Worcester and gave a fascinating talk on Mindfulness. Christoph is a natural communicator with a wonderfully gentle delivery style, he clearly knows his stuff and our audience were thoroughly engaged with Christoph's talk. He was a pleasure to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again on future projects."
