Hello, I'm Claire Nicholson Bell.

I'm a writer, meditation and yoga teacher, the creator of MindfulTEA, and, most importantly, a mam to two wonderful daughters who constantly remind me to see the world with fresh eyes.

For more than a decade I've worked in the world of wellbeing, helping women create moments of calm through meditation, mindfulness, yoga and holistic therapies. While that work is still very much a part of who I am, my life has evolved, and so has the way I choose to share it.

These days you'll often find me writing essays, walking by the sea, losing myself in a great film, reading books that stay with me long after I've turned the final page, or quietly brewing one of my home blended herbal teas. I believe that paying attention is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves, and that the simplest rituals often become the most meaningful.

Whether it's a cup of tea, a few mindful breaths, a walk in nature, a beautiful piece of writing or a conversation that changes the way we see the world, I'm endlessly curious about the small moments that help us feel more connected to ourselves and the lives we're living.

This website is my home on the internet, a place where all of those passions come together.

Here you'll find my writing, MindfulTEA, occasional meditation and Yin yoga offerings, and reflections on creativity, stories and the beauty hidden within ordinary life.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you find something here that encourages you to slow down enough to notice.
