Anne Costello Mindfulness

​​

I grew up in County Clare in the Burren region and I am the youngest of eight children. My first degree was in Nursing and I lived in Boston in my lates twenties and thirties. My family decided to move back home and we relocated to Belfast in 1999, where we had our fourth son. 

​

My journey into mindfulness began over twenty years ago, when I survived a life-changing health scare. This event caused me to look more deeply at the causes of stress in my life, and the importance of taking better care of myself. Since then I've combined my clinical background as a Public Health Nurse, with extensive training in Mindfulness, Sleep Science and Coaching, in order to support individuals and organisations - across all sectors.

 

​My trainings and qualifications from Boston, New York, Italy, London and Ireland: 

​

• Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).

• Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT in training).

• Mindfulness for Children and Teenagers.

• ILM Level 5 Certificate in Coaching & Mentoring.

• Sleep Consultant.

• Hatha Yoga trained.

• BSN (Hons) Nursing (University of Mass. Boston).

• Columbia University School of International & Public Affairs. I completed the Ford Motor Company International Fellowship: Developing Community Leaders.

• My experience extends to observing the integration of alternative therapies in Cancer care as a Special Observer at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre in New York. I also attended the School of Public Health at Columbia University, where I observed the use of Mindfulness Based Approaches as a tool in the Family Wellness Clinic outpatient Department.

 

Professional Standards:

Committed to the highest professional standards, I adhere to the UK Network & MTAI (Mindfulness Teachers Association Ireland) for Mindfulness-Based Teachers’ Good Practice Guidelines, and receive regular supervision for my Mindfulness group work in accordance with these standards.

​​

Beyond my professional practice, I am involved in my community, coaching young women in sport, and encouraging wellbeing through community, play, and physical activity.
