Alison Keane Educating in Mindfulness is a sports club located in Brisbane's inner north-west. Founded by Alison Keane, a registered counsellor, psychotherapist, and mindfulness teacher, the club focuses on supporting personal growth and embracing life in the present. Alison's counselling approach combines traditional western psychotherapy with Buddhist contemplative practises, humour, and storytelling.
The club offers Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs), which teach meditation, gentle movement, body scan, and relaxation practises that help individuals bring ease to difficult thoughts, feelings, and life experiences in a safe and present-focused manner. These practises, when done regularly and with the guidance of an experienced coach or therapist, may alleviate mental stress. MBIs are delivered individually or in group settings by mental health practitioners qualified in teaching lifestyle mindfulness and meditation.
Alison emphasises the importance of mindfulness as part of a larger well-being plan. For individuals experiencing stress or anxiety, learning and practising mindfulness meditation can be beneficial when integrated into their overall health care plan. It is recommended to inform your health care provider about your interest in mindfulness to ensure it aligns with your specific needs.
Alison Keane offers one-hour therapy sessions that follow a traditional pathway of supportive conversation and therapeutic challenge. While mindfulness is often a topic of discussion for anxiety, stress, and depression, it may not be the focus of every session. With extensive experience as a former MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) teacher and hatha yoga teacher, Alison is qualified and trained to teach lifestyle mindfulness, restorative and yin yoga, as well as therapeutic body scan and mind and breath-based practises for overall well-being.
Alison Keane Educating in Mindfulness provides a supportive and positive environment for individuals and couples seeking to incorporate mindfulness into their lives. By combining evidence-based practises with Alison's expertise and compassionate approach, the club aims to help individuals find peace, support, and personal growth through mindfulness.
