Our Story
Catherine is a writer/editor with a background in journalism and glossy magazines and Bill a lawyer and sometime judge. They met a few years back whilst deepening their knowledge of Vedic meditation, and ended up doing an intensive teacher training with Charlie Knoles in Bali. This profoundly deep experience led them to realise that joining forces would be a powerful way to share the meditation wisdom they’ve been taught with others. Both see teaching as a calling rather than a passing fad in the ever expanding world of wellness. Between them they have taught hundreds of people to meditate and believe it is a cornerstone in living life to the full particularly now as the world is going through so much change. Alongside Kind meditation contributors Davina Harbord and Annabel Boom our aim is to share teachings and support as many people as possible in their meditation practice.

Catherine
Catherine’s 20+ year journey with yogic practices began while writing/styling/editing glossy magazines, taking periods of time out to learn and absorb on her travels to India, Bali and Thailand. Of all the techniques she has experienced, Vedic meditation – whilst being practical – brought about such deep restoration and expansive shifts, it compelled her to share it with others. Alongside Kind Meditation co-Founder, Bill Lynds, she has taught hundreds of students of all levels, from all walks of life.
Bill
Bill has followed a mazy path over the decades to the practice of Vedic Meditation led by a long standing fascination with all things Eastern: martial arts, Tai Chi, Buddhism, Yoga...Together with Kind Meditation co-founder Catherine Turner - Bill, a lawyer and sometime judge, has taught hundreds of people the techniques of Vedic meditation, a practice which has profound beneficial impacts upon physical and mental health.
Davina
Davina believes meditation is an integral part of looking after one’s mind, particularly because of the varying effects that mental health issues have had on herself, family, and friends. With a background in events and project management (at Sotheby’s; Pinewood Studies and Elephant Family charity), she’s now focused on wellness, teaching Pilates, and, as an advocate for Kind Meditation, she is dedicated to spreading the news about how positive meditation can be for all.
Annabel
Since discovering Vedic meditation over three years ago, Annabel has been a consistent meditator which has brought profound changes in her home and work life, putting her passion for health and wellness at the heart of both. 10 years in the food industry led to further studies in anatomy and physiology and nutritional therapy - combined with previous experience as a company director, she brings a wealth of business support skills and holistic wisdom to growing companies such as Kind Meditation.
