A little about me…

I love any practice that allows the body to express joy and creativity. I absolutely love yoga for this reason — joy! good feeling! calm — and for so many more. It keeps expanding, unfolding and giving; it has to be experienced to be known.

I qualified as a yoga teacher in 2008 with The Life Centre (now Yoga Campus), including pregnancy yoga, and in 2012 in Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs. I’m now a yoga therapist, offering holistic, personalised, therapy-based yoga for a range of conditions including MS and other autoimmune diseases, cancer, back pain, breathing challenges and anxiety.

Yoga therapy isn’t psychotherapy, and when The Minded Institute developed a new modality Integrative Yoga Psychotherapy — a truly ‘whole package’ approach — I knew it could offer something uniquely helpful for those suffering in both body and mind.

Having personally experienced healing and growth through both yoga and depth psychotherapy, I found they work synergistically. A natural fit. 

Psychological distress within embodied health conditions often needs to be explored psychologically, and talk therapy is deeply enriched by weaving yoga into the process. I’m currently training with the NCIP in Integrative Yoga Psychotherapy. Alongside this, I’m a qualified outdoor mindfulness guide and offer yoga and rewilding, with a special focus on night rewilding for women.
