my story

---

Just like so many of us, my story is not one of huge tragedy, but rather a series of situational experiences and choices that lead me along a path of continuous and ever increasing stressful demands and societal pressures. This left me unhealthy, anxious, depressed, confused and burnt out. Something had to give...

I was introduced to yoga in the form of meditation at a YHA hostel in Bristol, UK when I was 19 years old. I was experiencing daily panic attacks and after building up the courage to ask for help, I received no support from my doctor, which left me wondering if it was all "just in my head". I didn't feel heard or understood. In search an alternative, I started these Kundalini meditation sessions, which was a life-boat in the chaos that was my life. Over the years, I found myself turning to yoga at times when I felt lost and overwhelmed. I never understood why I felt so balanced and peaceful after a yoga class, until I decided to  give up my 'proper city job' and take some much needed time off, building a life where I felt authentic and true, and finding ways in which I could serve my community and make a difference to peoples lives. 

I continue to be lead along a self-accepting path where I am able to truly listen to my heart and connect with what matters most, without excuses or apologies.  After spending some time in India, studying and connecting with the motherland, I have gained a huge respect for Yoga and Ayurveda and all that it can offer us. Yoga and Ayurveda are tools of self discovery.  These tools teach us to connect more deeply to ourselves - becoming aware of our humanity, finding balance, purpose and ultimately living a more full, loving and compassionate life. 

Both my Yoga Teacher Training and Ayurveda Lifestyle and Massage Training were completed in India. My schooling has been very traditional and honors the Vedas, which I hope echos into every service I offer. 

Just as India has given the gift of Yoga and Ayurveda to the world, I too would love to share these ancient practices with you, with the intention to heal, celebrate and love. 

My classes, workshops and retreats focus on translating these eastern teachings to help soothe and equip us to live a better, more for filled life in the west. If I have the honor of being able to connect with you, I hope that you are inspired to love yourself deeply and follow your heart.  

And so the journey continues... merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily life is but a dream...

Love and light,
