I am passionate about well being. My journey in this work began over 20 years ago through yoga. Becoming connected to the body in this way was such a life changing experience that I continued to dive deeper into it. I spent a few years working in the city in art related fields, but couldn't help feeling that there was a more sustainable and harmonious way to be with oneself and the planet.
So I decided to find out and set off for India, the motherland of yoga, then to Nepal, Thailand and New Zealand. I spent 3 years living very simply, practising and studying yoga, philosophy in Advaita Vedanta, Mahayana Buddhism and Tantra. I went on a number of silent meditation retreats, fasts and cleanses. I met people from many different cultures and found a connection with children I did not know I had. I lived off grid for a while on a Permaculture project and worked as a Park Ranger in New Zealand's National Park. I learnt so much.
Coming back to the UK I decided to formalise my yoga knowledge so I could share it with others and became qualified to teach yoga to adults and children. I began teaching yoga in 2009 in schools and private studios across London to many different ages and abilities. I then expanded my qualifications in related well being courses and began teaching Baby Massage and Hypnobirthing. These parents have all reported positive birth experiences as a result.
My daughter was born in 2011 and my son in 2012. I was able to apply my teachings directly into my life as I went into parenthood. My babies were both born using hypnobirthing and I practiced pregnancy yoga throughout my pregnancies. My kids still love the massage we did when they were babies. Its such a wonderful way to keep connecting with them physically and emotionally. My time has been very full looking after them but I have been committed to my professional development. I trained on Uma Dinsmore Tuli's Well Woman Yoga Therapy course as I have become increasingly interested in womens health. I completed a training to Mentor Girls in 2016 and began facilitating womens circles this year. I am constantly updating my skills and knowledge in these areas.
