I grew up on a farm in Devon. I qualified as an accountant and lived and worked in London for over 20 years. I am now based in Cambridge and I work as a Yoga Teacher and Yoga Therapist.
I have been practising yoga since I was 16. My Mum gave me my first yoga book. I hadn't even heard of yoga but I was intrigued and started to try a few of the poses. Yoga has been part of my life ever since.
I didn't have access to regular yoga classes growing up, but I started a regular practice and learned more about yoga as I went along. My practice helped to give me a sense of calm through my teenage years and a sense of achievement as my practice developed.
I qualified as a British Wheel of Yoga Teacher in 2016 after training with Catherine Annis and Kate Ellis. I am also a qualified Yoga Sports Coach and I am qualified to teach yoga to children and teenagers.
I qualified as a Yoga Therapist is 2022 after studying with Susi Hately. The Yoga Therapy qualification has given me the skills to help my clients on many different levels. I am a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists (C-IAYT).
I work with clients therapeutically helping with a wide range of issues including pain management, recovery from injury and illness, and making general improvements to health and wellbeing.
I am constantly amazed how the application of the tools we get from yoga can have such a huge impact on my clients' lives.
My approach is to to understand my clients’ individual interests, aspirations and needs. This allows for continuity in helping them develop their practice and meet their objectives.
As well as yoga, I enjoy playing tennis, badminton and keeping fit by walking and using the gym. This interest in sport and fitness led me to train with Hayley Winter and to qualify to teach yoga to athletes and others who enjoy sport at any level. Within this, I aim to provide a more tailored approach to yoga that complements their sport and training routines.
