The International Mindfulness Academy was founded by Carmel Farnan, Psychologist, Psychotherapist and Mindfulness Trainer who has designed and presented Mindfulness Training Courses internationally since 1999.

All courses at the International Mindfulness Academy are evidence based, drawing upon the latest scientific research from the fields of Mindfulness and Neuroscience. Our Mindfulness courses are unique as they combine elements from Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness Based Coginitive Therapy (MBCT) with research-based tools from Positive Psychology. The most recent research has shown that this combination obtains superior and longer-lasting benefits for course attendees.
Each course at The International Mindfulness Academy is designed and delivered to the highest ethical standards and adheres to the UK Mindfulness Teachers Good Practice Guidance for Teaching Mindfulness-Based Courses, (2010) as well as the code of ethics of the British Psychological Society (BPS) of which Carmel is a graduate member.
