Conscious living, from the inside out

Dominic Watts has spent over twenty years working at the intersection of education, mindfulness, and human development — in classrooms, in one-to-one sessions, in schools across the world, and in the quiet space where a parent realises they are their child's first teacher. Tecolote Teachings brings that work together in one place: programmes, courses, and individual sessions for children, parents, teachers, and organisations who are ready to live and learn more consciously.

Dominic holds a BSc in Psychology and Philosophy from the University of Nottingham, a PGCE and is currently completing his Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy. He spent eight years as a classroom teacher before transitioning into private practice. Since 2018 he has worked as a Holistic Coach with The Free Spirit Collective in Dubai, combining advanced mindfulness with Acceptance Commitment Therapy. He first encountered meditation at fifteen and has been investigating the inner world ever since.

He is the published author of Diary of a Mindful Dad: Uncensored (Tecolote Publishing, 2025) — praised by David Lorimer, Chair of the Galileo Commission, as 'eminently worthwhile and highly recommended to all prospective parents.'
