About Me
With almost 20 years working in mental health plus two 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training qualifications, I love combining my knowledge of mental and physical wellness to create yoga classes that soothe the soul.
I have two young children (age 8 and 4) and, as well as running a yoga business, I am in my final year of a Postgraduate Diploma in Pluralistic Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am currently on placement with two wonderful organisations - you can find out more on my counselling page.
I truly love bringing together communities of women through teaching yoga, and would love to welcome you to my classes.

Inclusivity
I believe yoga should be accessible to everyone of any gender, race, sexual orientation, age, religion, culture, disability or socioeconomic status. I use an additive approach to language - you’ll see and hear me talk about pregnant women and people; mums, dads and parents; birthing parents and non-gestational parents; breastfeeding and chestfeeding. All are welcome here.
“Thank you for your teachings and for creating a safe environment for me to release all my fears and become stronger (physically and mentally) during my pregnancy. Your class changed my mindset towards pregnancy, birth and life after birth.”
