I help to make wellbeing work for busy lives
I’m Lorna. I’m a working mum of 2, a data analyst, and a person who has learned the hard way how to keep going when life gets heavy.
I didn’t come to mindfulness because I was calm or spiritual by nature. I came to it because I was struggling. After the birth of my second child, I experienced post-partum depression and spent months on a waiting list for therapy. I needed something practical, something I could use in the middle of real life, not another thing I had to be “good at”. Yoga and simple mindfulness practices became a way to stay afloat. Not to fix everything, but to cope.
Later, in a very different season of life, I hit corporate burnout. Different circumstances, same pattern. Too much demand, not enough space. Again, it wasn’t stillness or long meditations that helped. It was small, repeatable practices that worked even when my nervous system was fried.
I’ve since been diagnosed with ADHD, which makes a lot of this make sense. Stillness doesn’t come naturally to me. Silence can feel loud. So everything I share is shaped by that reality. These are practices that work in a slightly chaotic life, not an ideal one.
What I teach now are the tools that have actually stuck. Short mindfulness practices. Gentle ritual. Seasonal rhythms that give structure without pressure. Ways of returning to yourself that don’t rely on perfection, discipline, or endless motivation.
Ebb & Flow grew out of this lived experience. It’s not about becoming calmer, better, or more “together”. It’s about having steady supports you can lean on when things wobble, because they always do.
If you’re not naturally serene. If your life is full. If you want something simple and human rather than aspirational. You’re very welcome here.
With each challenge I've faced, I've sought understanding and growth through study and certification. My qualifications are a testament to my belief in lifelong learning and healing. But beyond any certificate, my real expertise comes from living the very practices I teach - often messily, always genuinely.
