About

I'm a yoga therapist working at in-patient mental health services for both the NHS and Priory Group, private hospitals. I work in collaboration with other Allied Health Professionals, medical teams and other healthcare professionals in acute care and psychosis rehab, and I am grateful to have been nominated for two years in a row for my work within Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust at their annual Positive Practice Awards for "describing incredible examples of innovation, partnership, teamwork, commitment and compassion." 

 

I'm also part of an international group of trauma therapists and educators facilitating daily online trauma and resilience sessions to Ukrainians, offering support with practical evidence-based mind-body practices to help relieve stress and worry.

​

My specialty is supporting trauma resolution, and in my quest for professional clinical excellence I have accumulated over 1200 hours of training and studies to help facilitate profound and lasting changes. I have been in private practice since 2020, I'm under ongoing supervision, and I'm registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), first aid trained, fully insured and DBS checked.

​

I belong to a meditation discovery group, we meet regularly online and are guided by a very inspiring teacher. Mindfulness meditation offers me the opportunity to cultivate inner awareness, to let it sink in while being curious about my thoughts and my state of mind, where it wanders and where it lingers, until I find my breath again in its ever-changing flow. I dance 5Rhythms regularly; a form of movement meditation where my chaos and stillness meet in my physical body and have a chance to shake, release, express through a spontaneous dance with nothing set to follow. I am also a student of Wado-Ryu Karate. Training in martial arts offers me the opposite: the set yet alive forms, the boundaries, the discipline, the respect, the confidence. And then there is yoga, never confined by the mat, where my mind, body and soul find their own balance. I'm forever grateful to all my teachers who continue to inspire my practice through deeper understanding and development.

I am a proud mum of two growing boys and of a beautiful black cat, lover of heavy metal rock music, good coffee and chocolate of any colour, shape or form.
