My mission is to live a happy and healthy life full of the things I love, whilst trying to support others to make positive changes in their lives.

As an ex-gymnast and dance enthusiast I’ve always had a passion for movement, but it was only after struggling with my mental health that I finally decided to look into the connection between my body and mind, which is how I became a yoga teacher. Yoga has taught me so much about who I am as a person, how to treat my body and also how to treat those around me. I want to be able to share those learnings with others.

I believe that everyone has the ability to learn how to use the breath and body to promote health and well-being on a physical, emotional and mental level. This belief forms the basis of my teaching and I encourage others to have a regular yoga practice to create positive change from within; increasing self-awareness and self-acceptance leading to inner peace and tranquility.

In my early twenties I had my first run in with depression, or at least this was the first time I acknowledged it. There was so much I wanted to improve about my life, but it all felt so overwhelming and out of reach.

It wasn’t until I began incorporating mindful practices into my daily life that I started to see a huge transformation. These daily rituals were the key to helping me declutter my mind and begin creating my dream life.

And these rituals, or as we like to call them ‘habits of happiness’, are exactly what we’ll be sharing with you so that you too can start living each day with intention and begin living your dream life.

Although everyone’s story is unique, the catalyst is always the same: a desire to make lasting change. By focusing on intentional living, I help people make lifestyle changes that positively impact their physical, mental and spiritual health, and ultimately live their ideal life.

The real reward of a yoga practice, is not mastering a handstand or being able to do the splits, it’s the rebirth of your authentic self that steps off the yoga mat and back into your daily life with intention.

“To effectively communicate, we must realise that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.”

For me life is about understanding, being understood and always striving to learn and improve; this keeps my ever shifting goals in congruence with an ever changing world.

For the last twenty years I’ve invested heavily in myself. I’ve studied, practiced and refined the skills and habits I now swear by. Although there is a lot to be said about where we ‘cut our cloth’ and what we do for a living, for me there is nothing more important than embodying your ethos through the things you do day-in, day-out.

I’ve always found exercise, physical activity and wellbeing to be an excellent way of managing my wider life in general – being healthy impacts every area of our life; eating well and staying fit requires discipline and knowledge, which led me to be more open to exploring psychology and mindfulness.

However, the true lessons in life are learned through the biggest tests – suffering loss and dealing set-backs taught me so much about myself. Changing careers, recovering from immobilising injuries and learning to adapt has required curiosity, patience and tenacity. But nothing more so than the inward inquiry to embark upon a daily decision to work towards self-mastery. All of these challenges and experiences have gifted me the opportunity to grow, while improving how I manage my daily life. I truly value the art of communication and being gifted in this area led me to the careers I’ve followed. These principles now form the foundation of my coaching practice.

I’m fascinated by the human psyche and passionate about helping people grow. I believe in a holistic approach to coaching, however experience has taught me that most people like a tangible goal to focus on. When you work with me you will always leave with an easy to follow programme and a deeper understanding of why we are focusing in the particular area of your choice.

Working as a Coach in Professional Development and formerly in Education, all the way back to being a Personal Trainer I’ve spent years coaching people in all aspects of their life; delivering seminars, designing curriculums for local authorities and where I currently work within Industry in a Learning and People Development role. All of this allowed me to acquire a vast amount of experience in what makes people ‘tick.’

Every client is an opportunity for me to learn and grow along with you – working with me you will find a tutor, a mentor, a friend and a coach, but above all else, someone that helps you understand yourself and holds you accountable.

Invest in the future, remain in the present and smile at the past.
