Nigel Lowson

Nigel Lowson taught in UK secondary schools for 36 years before taking early retirement and moving to South Devon. For half of this time he was in charge of pastoral care at a large school in the Midlands. Whilst there Nigel saw many children enjoy their teenage years with few if any concerns. However, many did not enjoy their teen years and found the exams extremely stressful. And this meant that many families found life hard too.

Issues such as exam stress, sexuality, sleep, friendships, body image, death, anxiety, studying, and the point of life surfaced all the time and held deep fascination for Nigel. And still do.

Since leaving teaching Nigel has worked with businesses with a focus on decreasing stress, assisting sleep and improving mindful communication. He still helps children, students, and parents to be calmer, more relaxed, more mindful, more reflective and more aware of why things happen. He gives talks, leads workshops and retreats, writes blogs, and loves designing online courses for companies reward and staff welfare schemes.

Married to Gilly since 1980 he is also a father to two girls and a grandfather to two boys (aged 7 and 15) so still feels connected to the young!

Living here we love the combination of coast and moorland and feel lucky to receive so many visitors!
