About me & what I offer

Yoga Teacher,  Craniosacral Therapist & Specialist Therapeutic Yoga teacher for disabilities & additional needs.  

I have had supporting, guiding and helping roles for over 30 years, having a background in Psychology & Biology through the study of Human & Environmental Science at Leicester University. This lead to a career in children & young people services for 20 years; supporting children, young people & families in difficulties before moving to full time self employment to offer yoga & CST in 2009.  I’ve been around yoga for most of my life, my mum is 90 this year and has attended classes, and still does, for 60 years, I’ve been practising for over 35 years.   As well as the physical benefits, supporting my body post a childhood car accident; the journey of self knowledge & a peace of mind have been life changing,  I have found practices to support me through life’s challenges and it is my joy to share them.

I have a passion for the therapeutic use of yoga with children, young people and adults with additional needs, are neurodiverse or have disabilities and have initiated the yoga provision in several of the city’s specialist education schools & continue to offer this provision in West Gate SEN school & Nether Hall SEN school.

I am extensively trained in many specialist areas of yoga & Craniosacral therapy to support you in your health journey, I have & continue to work with many renowned teachers of yoga, including Sophie Hoare & John Stirk in the Scaravelli approach & with Uma Dinsmore Tuli for Women’s yoga therapy & yoga Nidra, Yin yoga with Bernie Clarke & many other workshops & trainings over the years.

I have also studied:

Shamanism with Chris Luttichau (a 3 year deep immersion) & Manda Scott.

Feldenkrais & Somatic movement.

Sound healing with Anne Malone.

I’ve enjoyed a couple of decades of 5 Rhythms dance & other dance movement practices. All of the latter enriching my practice & teaching.

When I’m not practising & sharing yoga or working as a therapist I’m a dedicated mother & grandmother, I love to dance, to read, sea kayak, craft, swim outdoors, travel to new places & spend time rewilding at the far edges of our island & beyond.

I am committed to working professionally, holistically and compassionately.  My aim is to help you to feel empowered in your own wellbeing and healing journey.  I am happy to work alongside your NHS or other health & wellbeing practitioners to aid you on your journey back to health or to find ease living with chronic health conditions.

Yoga Classes

“Great session Kay, really enjoyed it.  I’ve been ages trying and failing to find a class with all the right elements & I think I’ve cracked it.  You are a very good teacher with a positive manner.  The yoga is varied.  There isn’t a whiff of competitiveness.  It’s a pleasant, light, clean and warm environment not some grotty draughty church hall!”

Yoga for the Special Child

“Quite literally we have seen some of our most disabled young people respond and move in ways that we did not know were possible. Other young people have commented on how much they have enjoyed the sessions, how they have been able to relax and move parts of their bodies in new and exciting ways. Teachers have commented on how calm pupils have been on returning to the classroom following a yoga session with Kay and how this has resulted in better levels of concentration and learning”

“We will definitely be incorporating yoga into the curriculum for our children and young people in the coming year!”   Vice Principle Ash Field Academy Leicester 2015”

Craniosacral Therapy

“Thanks for all your care during this difficult time – you certainly make me feel better”– Client with Trigeminal Neuralgia

“The day after my first session with you, I had a day free of back pain for the first time since 1993, when my back problems started. I was able to walk further distances and felt brilliant. The pain gradually reappeared over the next few days but to have that relief after one session, has blown me away and I am sure this therapy will be of a huge benefit to me. ”
