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 led to a 20 year career in the public & voluntary sector, front line & then management roles; supporting children, young people & families facing adversity until retraining to offer yoga & CST from 2009. I’ve been around yoga for most of my life & I’ve been practising for over 35 years.
I am extensively trained in many specialist areas of yoga & Craniosacral therapy to support you in your wellbeing journey, I have & continue to work with many renowned teachers of yoga, including many years study with Sophie Hoare & John Stirk in the Scaravelli approach & with Uma Dinsmore Tuli for Women’s yoga therapy & yoga Nidra, Yin yoga with Bernie Clarke, Mindfulness teacher training & many other workshops & trainings over the years. I’m trained in Biodynamic Cranio Sacral therapy & have also taken further training in the upledger methodology.
I have also trained in; end of life Soul Midwifery with Felicity Warner, Shamanism with Chris Luttichau (a 3 year deep immersion), attended workshops in Feldenkrais & Somatic movement, and Sound healing with Anne Malone. I’ve enjoyed 20 years of 5 Rhythms dance & other dance movement practices. All of the latter enriching my therapeutic practice & teaching.
When I’m not practising & sharing yoga or working as a therapist I’m a dedicated mother & grandmother, I love to dance, enjoy live music, to read, craft, swim outdoors, travel to new places & spend time at our last wild places 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, to find ease living with chronic health conditions or to support your end of life journey.
