Testimonial
Lindsay, Dumfries, 2025
"Kirstie is a warm, attentive, empathetic person who is skilled at guiding sessions in a way which feels so safe and supportive. I look forward to her mindfulness and meditation group each week - it feels like a mini retreat for me to escape to and I always leave feeling grounded, peaceful and still."
Testimonial
Brian, Dumfries, 2025
"I engaged in a 6-week course with Kirstie, I found the teaching techniques, guided meditation and practices beneficial. As a Type 1 Diabetic, this enabled me to learn how to be in the moment and have a clear mind. I can highly recommend Kirstie; she has a gentle manner and makes it easy to learn and understand Mindfulness."
Testimonial
Karen, Dumfries, 2025
"I am aware of mindfulness, but found being guided and having that safe protected hour has enabled me to find the calm in the storm of life.
I felt I was able to meet myself, greet myself and accept myself. I recognised I had needs and that I was the person to meet those needs.
I guess that is part due to the clear and sensitive guiding and the way Kirstie was able to provide a safe and gentle place to just “be” fully present and accepted. No pressure or goals. No judgement. And also a few laughs along the way. I would recommend anyone curious to dip a toe into a practice that can be transforming."

Ways we teach and share
Our approach is down to earth and promotes mindfulness applicable in everyday life through various combinations of meditation, gentle movement, relaxation, visualisation and compassion focussed practices. Trauma-informed for added security: honouring that we each carry our own experiences of suffering and growth.
Comprehensive Classes/Events
Relaxed and friendly opportunities, catering to various levels of experience, fostering connection and growth. We also support teams in workplaces and corporate settings. Bespoke course design available upon discussion.
Community Engagement
Keen to collaborate with community groups, local practitioners, and events, we have a mission to help reach those who may otherwise struggle, for reasons of disability, financial barriers, Caring roles or social exclusion.
Safety and Accessibility
We prioritize safety and diversity: aiming to reduce barriers and promote access for all. Please get in touch for any accessibility needs and safe space requirements or to discuss adaptations and course design. Together we can create amazing things.
Non-Denominational
The Pebble Room is not restricted to any specific religious/faith denomination. Deeply informed by Buddhism, neuroscience, coaching mindsets, and psychology, yet grounded in our embodied/direct experience, making room for the mystery of life.
