When we design programs with the brain in mind, we optimise our ability to respond flexibly to the constantly changing environments in which we need to operate.
When we study movement, we get to the heart of our mental, emotional and physical experience. These movements underpin all our actions in the world.
Tamara is involved in international research investigating how mindfulness changes the structure of the brain.
She lectures in Neuroscience and Mindfulness at King's College London, and is part of Imperial College's Executive Education "Future of Health" and "Leading in the Digital Age" programmes.
Tamara is regularly invited to speak on Mindfulness around the globe, appearing both on stage, radio and on-line.
This work informs her applied translational neuroscience approach to well-being.
Being involved in the most cutting edge of scientific research ensures that the latest insights from neuroscience can be woven into program design.
Tamara is the Founder and Co-Director of a not for profit organization The Mindfulness Centre of Excellence. This organization was founded in 2011 after sharing the stage with His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Sao Paulo, Brazil at a symposium exploring how ancient contemplative technologies can inform the challenges of modern living.
"Working with Tamara and with her body in mind approach has been life changing. Tamara offers a warm and compassionate space during our sessions together to work through even the most sensitive of personal issues in a comfortable and sincere way. But better yet, the tools that she teaches mean I am able to continue making even bigger and further strides alone in between sessions. I would recommend Tamara's approach to anyone, whether it be looking to apply more mindfulness to their daily lives, and to anyone who needs an empathetic and genuine helping hand through life's more difficult situations."
