A bit about me and my trainings

I am a trauma-informed breathwork facilitator, mindfulness meditation coach and yoga teacher who has been travelling extensively around the globe for over 25 years and running retreats and workshops internationally since 1999.
With nearly three decades of experience, I've dedicated my life to the pursuit of personal growth and holistic wellness.

While my journey began in India in 1993, living in several ashrams studying with my teacher for 2 years in the realms of yoga and meditation, It was on the banks of the sacred river Ganges in Varanasi that I encountered my initial spiritual mentor. Training intimately with him on a one-to-one basis, I delved into diverse schools and practices for two years.

Breathwork, Mindfulness Meditation and Yoga
are my transformational tools and my work has
evolved into a deeper exploration through breathwork
healing and resilience, particularly in the
field of grief and recovery.

Out of all the transformative principles I have studied and
practised I really believe there is
nothing for powerful than the breath.

The focus of my work is primarily through the power of the breath, and my teachings take a somatic approach incorporating the mind-body connection, drawing on these 3 healing modalities for optimum health and self-healing. Anchoring this body of work through the breath to release anxiety and stress reduction, I incorporate gentle somatic movements to bring awareness with mindfulness enquiry. Having navigated the challenges of living with pain and undergoing hip replacements myself.

I am now on a mission to support others through a similar story,
ensuring the body's intelligence finds its own resource
to support conscious shifts to release and let go.

From Hip Pain to Healing - I support those yogi’s and young active people who are considering or undergoing Hip Replacements, and feel the important of breaking the silence and unveiling the journey from ‘Shame and Hiding to Healing with Hip Replacements’

My Mission to Support and Inspire Others in the Community

I mentor on Seven Directions Facilitator Training program and offer 1-2-1 mentoring with clients, in-person and online, offer breathwork ceremonies. I host my own retreats and also often invited in as a guest teacher to host breathwork sessions. 

I am trained as a Mental Health First Aider, where I work with anxiety, trauma and stress reduction through both mindfulness and breathwork.

I continue to expand my knowledge through ongoing training courses and personal development and I love collaborating with others, bringing breath awareness and mindfulness for optimum health.

 
 

I hold a heartfelt space empowering my clients to improve their physical, emotional and mental well-being, releasing blocked trauma through somatic release and the power of the breath, enabling their own healing journey and personal transformation.

For over 25 years I have been working with clients from all walks of life; from youth level to seniors, in the corporate sector, NHS, women’s refuge, mental health, luxurious retreats and lead several holistic mind/body areas at some of the large festivals in the UK.
