Megan Layton
Director, Senior MBSR, PNT, Self-Compassion and Yoga teacher
Megan Layton is the Director of Simply Mindful, a mindfulness meditation geek and mental health professional with 30 years experience. She believes that we can all be freer, happier and more fully ourselves and that meditation is one of the best tools to help us get there.
Megan loves exploring ways of using mindfulness, meditation and mind-body modalities together with other mental health approaches to help bring greater freedom, joy and skilfulness to life, love and work.
She is a Mindfulness (MBSR), Yoga, Meditation, Self-compassion and Positive Neuroplasticity teacher working with individuals, groups and a wide range of organisations.
Megan is now deepening her own practice and understanding of meditation both personally and as a teacher through the Australian Insight Meditation Institute’s Dharma Insight Meditation teacher training and mentorship program. She regularly sits, manages and facilitates short and long retreats. She also is continuously developing her therapeutic skills.
She loves bringing these 2 rich fields of knowledge and practice together; mindfulness and meditation equipping us for the work of waking up, and the therapeutic modalities and psychological sciences equipping us for the work of growing up. Both together are potent vehicles for releasing limiting patterns and opening up insight, choice, change and freedom.
