Andy Puddicombe

Andy Puddicombe is a meditation and mindfulness expert. An accomplished presenter and writer Andy is the voice of all things Headspace.

In his early twenties midway through a university degree in Sports Science Andy made the unexpected decision to travel to the Himalayas to study meditation instead. It was the beginning of a ten year journey which took him around the world culminating with ordination as a Tibetan Buddhist monk in Northern India.

His transition back to lay life in 2004 was no less extraordinary. Training briefly at Moscow State Circus he returned to London where he completed a degree in Circus Arts with the Conservatoire of Dance and Drama whilst drawing up the early plans for what was later to become Headspace.


He has been featured widely in international press appearing in Vogue NYT FT Entrepreneur Men's Health and Esquire to name but a few. He also makes regular appearances on TV and online having been featured on BBC Dr Oz Netflix and TED.
Andy currently lives in Venice California with his wife Lucinda.
