Not an app, not a quick fix. One-to-one mindfulness coaching with Laura-Maria Schober: what it is, who it helps, and how it fits inside whole-health care.

Mindfulness coaching at Dental & Wellness London is one-to-one work with Laura-Maria Schober (MSc Applied Positive Psychology, EMCC Senior Practitioner) that teaches attention and stress-regulation skills through guided practice, adapted to your situation rather than a fixed group programme. Sessions sit inside whole-health care, so jaw clenching, sleep and dental anxiety can be worked on together. First session £75, 20-minute reviews £35, and a free 20-minute introductory call.

How it fits
Whole-health integration
Mindfulness coaching teaches attention, breath and stress-regulation skills one to one, so the practice fits your life rather than a fixed timetable. It is secular and practical. It draws on the same evidence base as structured mindfulness programmes, but is adapted to what you are dealing with, at a pace you can keep.
Mindfulness coaching helps most with chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, sleep difficulties, dental anxiety and jaw clenching or grinding. It is not suitable for acute mental-health crisis, active depression, or trauma requiring specialist support.
At DWL, mindfulness is integrated with dental care because jaw clenching often stems from a stressed nervous system. Learning to regulate the nervous system addresses the driver, not just the symptom. For body-based work alongside, see somatic coaching and biodynamic massage.
Sessions are 50 minutes, usually fortnightly to begin with, with short daily practice of 10–20 minutes between them. Laura sets the practice with you; it changes as you do.
Assess your primary concern. If it is chronic stress or anxiety, mindfulness coaching may help. For panic specifically, see our guide to panic attacks. If you are in crisis, seek appropriate clinical care first. We offer a free 20-minute introductory call to help you decide.
We recommend protecting teeth with a night guard while learning to regulate the nervous system. The combination of dental protection and nervous system regulation gives the best outcome for grinding.

Mindfulness coaching is not suitable for acute mental-health crisis or active depression without clinical support alongside it. We say so plainly.

Highly recommend their current teeth whitening deal. Very accommodating and lovely service. Will be back! ***Updating after completing my Invisalign to recommend again. My teeth are now super straight and Doctor Patel and his team are simply the best. Amazing service. So happy I’ve found such a good dentist.

Clare

★★★★★

I’m based in Dalston and was super self-conscious about my slightly twisted teeth. Looked at clear aligners vs Invisalign at different places but Dental & Wellness London’s expertise won me over. They used 3D tech to show exactly how my teeth would shift. Appointments were always on time, easy to pop over from Dalston. Finished with whitening and now I love smiling in photos.

How long does mindfulness coaching take?

Most people work with Laura for six to ten sessions, usually fortnightly, with ten to twenty minutes of daily practice between them. Some come back for occasional reviews afterwards. There is no fixed programme to complete.

Do I need any experience to start mindfulness coaching?

None at all. The coaching is designed for complete beginners. If anything, arriving with no fixed ideas about what mindfulness "should" feel like tends to help.

Is mindfulness a religious practice?

No. Mindfulness coaching at DWL is entirely secular. It draws on practices with ancient roots but is taught as practical, evidence-based skills with no religious content or requirement.

Can mindfulness really help with teeth grinding?

It can help with the driver. A great deal of clenching and grinding is a physical expression of a nervous system stuck in a stress response. Learning to regulate that response can reduce the behaviour, though we would still protect the teeth with a guard in the meantime.

What if I'm dealing with depression or a mental-health crisis?

Then mindfulness coaching is not the right first step on its own. Active crisis or depression needs appropriate clinical care first, through your GP or NHS 111; coaching can sit alongside that care later if it is helpful.
