Hi, I'm Fletch
I'm here to guide you through this journey. I've been practicing meditation for over 10 years, and started teaching in 2020. My style is light, engaging and personal. What's most important to me is that you understand what this amazing skill can do for you if you really keep at it. The gold of meditation is in daily practice, my goal is to get you there. I like to say that a meditation a day keeps the therapists away (sorry therapists)!
Thanks for being here. Let's get into it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yep, completely. No cost, no credit card and no catch. Sign up with your email and you’ll get five meditation videos with theory and instructions over five days.
None at all. The course is designed for complete beginners or people refreshing their practice. If you’ve never meditated before, or you’ve tried and found it hard to stick with, this is a good place to start.
Videos are 25-30 minutes, but Day 1 is a bit longer with the introduction and learning the technique. Each day includes a 15 minute meditation and accompanying theory. You can watch on your phone, tablet or computer, whenever it suits you.
Over five days we cover why meditation is worth doing, how to use the breath as your anchor, what to do with a busy or distracted mind, how to build a daily habit that sticks, and how meditation can become part of your life rather than another task on your list.
Absolutely. The course is entirely online and self-paced, so you join from anywhere in the world.
Just a quiet spot, a chair or cushion, and a few minutes a day. No special equipment, apps or flexibility required. We'll cover this in more detail on Day 1.
No problem. The videos stay in your online learning environment, so you can catch up at your own pace. The videos are accessible for up to 12 months.
If you’d like to keep going, I run live courses and streamed courses, offer one-on-one meditation tuition, and have a meditation library of guided practices. There’s no pressure, though. Plenty of people simply take what they’ve learned and run with it.
No. You’ll get the five course emails, plus updates about new courses, articles and other interesting material once or twice a month, all designed to help you embed that daily practice. You can unsubscribe at any time with one click.
