About

Belinda Coaten – Who Am I?

I left my proper job in HR and Learning in 2001 and set up my own business. This focused on the transferable skills that I had from the corporate world, coaching and training.  I subsequently trained as an image consultant and added this to the mix.

I’ve always been good at planning and yet in 2011 I literally stumbled across mindfulness in a magazine article, my father had died suddenly and I so decided to give it a try.  First on an introductory level, then a further course.  The stumbling continued when I was offered the chance to train as a teacher, and then a hat trick stumble of becoming an Eating Mindfully teacher.

Today I use my mindfulness teaching and combine this with my coaching.  This has really added another dimension to my business.  I can focus on the what…working with people to put in place some processes that will help them in their career and the how…mindfulness offers the opportunity to uncover this.  It’s a potent mix!
