Jan Haworth

Jan is a fully certified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher with a particular interest in supporting people affected by cancer and serious illness.

She first came to mindfulness during her own cancer treatment, when she was introduced to mindfulness as a way of meeting the physical, emotional and psychological stress of illness and treatment. What began as a coping support became a life-changing practice, and eventually inspired her to train as a teacher and share mindfulness with others.

For over a decade, Jan has been teaching mindfulness courses for the general public and for organisations, including many people affected by cancer and their families. Her teaching is down-to-earth, practical and compassionate, supporting people to meet the uncertainty, stress and emotional impact of cancer with greater steadiness, kindness and practical skills for everyday life.

Jan now offers New Ground, a course based on Mindfulness-Based Cancer Recovery (MBCR).

Alongside her mindfulness training, Jan holds a psychology degree and has further qualifications and experience in positive psychology, health coaching and preventive health. She is also a long-time student of yoga.
