Dr Alice MacKinnon (PhD)

Mindfulness is a verb – it’s a doing word. When we actively practice mindfulness – like martial artists who connect their minds, brains, bodies and hearts with purpose – we grow our skills in personal and professional well-being. This includes increasing our focus and attention; our insight, self-awareness, and Emotional Intelligence; our connection with others; and our capacity to intentionally chart our direction in life.

Dr Alice MacKinnon (PhD) is a highly skilled mindfulness coach, facilitator, speaker and practitioner. Her work emerges from a life of business and community engagement, qigong (pronounced chee-gong), yoga, surfing, fitness, meditation and writing.

She integrates personal and social resilience and connection, with physical, mental and emotional health and well-being - in practical and engaging ways for people of all ages, from all walks of life.

Alice uses simple and effective breathing techniques and qigong movements to engage her audiences and equip them with practical mindfulness tools that make a difference in their daily lives. She also offers clear, concise mindfulness principles and the evidence-base for mindfulness from the latest neuroscience, in ways that make a compelling case for practical mindfulness in all our lives.
