S2 Ep 2: 'How mindfulness can support our clinical practice' featuring Katie Sheen Dip.ION, FdSc, PGCE, MA Education

IHCAN magazine Podcast

Katie Sheen is a mindfulness teacher and speaker, a nutritional therapist, and has a Masters degree in education.

She shares her experiences using mindfulness with nutrition clients – how mindfulness can help with making nutritional changes, and how nutritional support can help with being more settled and mindful. “It’s a fascinating two-way street we can offer people”
Katie also shares how mindfulness and self-compassion helped her deal with her own cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery.
“And what was amazing was that in that moment I thought: My poor body… my poor body… I can see how much it’s suffering. And again, what a gift to be able to switch immediately into compassion, rather than fear – and there definitely was fear, I’m not going to pretend there wasn’t fear, there was fear as well, but the fear wasn’t of my own body. And that was one of those doorways for me into really taking care of myself.”
Themes include deep listening, compassionate speech, how to become more self-aware and use that to showing kindness and care to ourselves.
