Welcome to the Glasgow TM Community

I am a TM teacher, AyurVeda consultatant and Marma Therapist currently living in Glasgow, Scotland. When I'm not teaching TM, I love getting out for walks and exploring the Highlands. I'm also a freelance fundraising consultant, working for the David Lynch Foundation UK – a charity which offers TM to groups who have experienced traumatic stress.

Currently, I am the only certified Maharishi AyurVeda Aroma Therapy consultant in Scotland. I have used essential oils to support the health of family and friends since the 1970s, reading and learning from many experts in the field. Then I undertook the Consultant training course from MERU in Netherlands, and I am now offering consultations from the Glasgow TM Centre to meditators and members of the public . I hopes to enlighten you as to the many benefits to be gained from these amazing gifts from nature.

I've been doing TM for 5 years. I help out at the Centre: write the newsletter and help with the website. I also teach swimming and support people with mental and physical health problems to swim. I also volunteer at a food bank and at a mental health charity.

I’m from Ireland. I was a nurse and specialised in spinal cord and head injury. I came to Glasgow to study Occupational Therapy and worked as an addiction counsellor. I also studied Maharishi AyurVeda healthcare in the USA. I was searching for a meditation that was deep and easy to fit into my life. My Ayurvedic doctor inspired me by explaining that TM is natural, easy to do and is backed by scientific research. Having a teacher to help me understand my experiences swung it for me! Initially I noticed that I slept better, I was more relaxed and my health and energy improved. Over time my confidence and focus grew, my career path opened up. I saw more possibilities in life and wasn’t deterred by obstacles. I love teaching TM because I get to give a lifelong tool that brings profound changes in such a simple and natural way. I am interested in people’s progress and love encouraging and supporting people in their journey.

Alfie's been practicing Transcendental Meditation for nearly 30 years and is a familiar face at retreats and TM events. His passion for the technique and his knack for connection with people online made stepping into the social media role a natural fit. Now he helps spread the word about TM on Facebook and Instagram, making it easier for others to discover the benefits and feel part of the community.
