About me

I have been interested in holistic therapies and yoga since being very young; my parents introduced me to yoga when I was a child. Going through school I followed the 'traditional route' of university and career and ended up teaching science in secondary schools for almost 20 years.

When 2020 happened, various things shifted enabling me to pursue courses that I had been thinking about for a very long time. I started with reiki, spiritual development and crystal healing. Soon followed by my long time dream of joining the Sahej Academy's Level 1 Kundalini Yoga Instructor Certificate endorsed by the Kundalini Yoga Institute (KRI). I was so inspired by this course I was drawn to continue my studies and am currently working through the five level 2 modules. I completed Lifestyles and Lifecycles in November 2023 and hope to complete the rest over the next 2-3 years.

Around the same time I started a Diploma in Naturopathic Nutrition from the award winning College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM) which I complete in March 2025. Loving what yoga can do for mind, body and soul so much I embarked upon the Level 4 Certificate in Hatha Yoga with the British Wheel of Yoga (BWY) which I complete in Summer 2024. Still yearning for more I am in the final stages of completing a Diploma in Hypnotherapy after studying with a fabulous local teacher.

In 2022 I ended up with a disabling illness that meant I had to leave my career behind. I am still recovering but feel truly blessed that I had already heard the call to start exploring other paths which I am now able to follow and use to help others.
