PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Gillian Higgins has been practicing as a war crimes barrister for the past 20 years. Juggling life at the bar and bringing up her daughter led her to mindfulness, as she wanted to be more present, feel less reactive, sleep better and improve her ability to respond to the challenges that a career and parenting can bring. She later qualified to teach with the aim of bringing the benefits of mindfulness to other members of her profession and beyond. She is the founder of Practical Meditation, a website which aims to share mindfulness in a way that works for you . She has pioneered work in the field of mindfulness amongst her own professionals - barristers, legal students and clerks and is building her reputation as a leader in this field.
