A little about me…

I love any practice which allows the body to express joy and creativity. I absolutely love yoga, for this reason - joy! good feeling! …calm… but also for many more. It just keeps going, expanding, unfolding and giving and has to be experienced to be known. In 2008 I qualified as a yoga teacher with the Life Centre (now Yoga Campus), and pregnancy yoga and in 2012 I qualified in Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs. I am now a yoga therapist, offering holistic and personalised therapy based yoga for a variety of conditions including MS and other auto-immune diseases, cancer, back pain, breathing challenges and anxiety. Yoga therapy is not psychotherapy however, and when the very new modality, Integrative Yoga Psychotherapy was developed by The Minded Institute to offer the ‘complete package’ I knew it could be enormously, uniquely helpful to many people who suffer in body and mind.

Having personally experienced the healing and growth potential through both yoga and good depth psychotherapy, I knew that psychotherapy and yoga work synergistically.

They are a natural fit where improved well-being and further self-development are needed. I discovered that psychological distress within embodied health conditions often needs to be explored psychologically. Equally, talk therapy is deeply enriched be weaving yoga into the process.

Integrative Yoga Psychotherapy is a truly ‘whole’ therapy. Currently I am training with the NCIP. Alongside this I am a qualified outdoor mindfulness guide and I practise and offer yoga and rewilding with a special focus on night rewilding for women.
