Yoga Teacher, Craniosacral Therapist & Specialist Therapeutic Yoga teacher for children with special needs.
I have had supporting, guiding and healing roles for over 30 years, having a background in Psychology & Biology, I studied Human & Environmental Science at Leicester University, leading to a career in children & young people services supporting children, young people & families in difficulties before moving to self employment to offer yoga & CST in 2009. I’ve been around yoga for most of my life, my mum is in her late 80’s and has attended classes, and still does, for over 50 years. As well as the physical benefits; 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 special needs & disabilities and have initiated the yoga provision in several of the city’s special schools. I’m drawn to bringing yoga to those who don’t, for whatever reason, feel they can attend mainstream classes, and have worked with a many individuals and groups, including those; with physical disabilities & mental health challenges, post-natal depression, recovering from addiction, coping with cancer and in dementia care settings. I aim to make yoga accessible to all.
I am extensively trained in many specialist areas of yoga to support you in your health journey & have & continue to work with many renowned teachers in the field.
When I’m not practising & sharing yoga or working as a therapist I’m a mother & grandmother, I love to dance, to read, sea kayak, craft, swim outdoors & spend time in wild places.
I am committed to working professionally, holistically and compassionately. Helping 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.
