Hi, I’m Ute.

I’m a mindfulness coach, yoga teacher, and a mother of twin girls.

Before becoming a parent, I spent many years studying and practicing mindfulness and yoga. I completed my PhD at Imperial College London, where I explored the connection between mindfulness and behaviour change, and I worked in international contexts, living in countries like France and Brazil.

But it was only when my daughters were born that this work became truly real for me.

They were born during the pandemic, at a time when we were largely on our own—my husband working full-time, our families far away, and very little support due to isolation and distancing.

Those early months and years were intense. There was very little time or space for formal practice, and many of the things I had learned before simply didn’t fit into daily life anymore.

And yet, mindfulness became more important than ever.

Not as something separate that I had to “do”, but as something that helped me stay with what was there—through exhaustion, overwhelm, and also through moments of deep connection and joy.

I began to understand mindfulness in a much more practical and grounded way: something that happens in the middle of everyday life, while holding a baby, soothing, feeding, or simply getting through the day.

This experience shapes how I work today.

I don’t expect you to have time for long practices or perfect routines. Instead, I support you in finding ways to stay present and connected within the reality of your life as a parent.

My work is gentle, practical, and rooted in real experience—both my own and what I have learned through research, teaching, and working with parents.

If you are looking for support, you are very welcome to reach out or book a short introductory call.

I would be happy to meet you.
