about
I have been facilitating meditation and postural yoga since 2004, and using these practices within a therapeutic context since 2008. My intention in my work is to support physical, emotional and mental wellbeing by offering body-centred tools for self-connection. Intercultural respect and a trauma-informed ethos are embedded in my work. I have been a faculty member with Yogacampus since 2010 and contribute to panels and discussions that address critical issues within contemporary yoga spaces.
In addition to public work, I facilitate the Movement for Healing programme - established in 2017 - offering specialised yoga to people impacted by domestic abuse and sexual violence. I am also a non-Executive Director for CIC Mamasuze, an arts-based organisation that supports women and children refugees, asylum-seekers and migrants. Alongside these roles, I am a Dance Movement Psychotherapist working in both adult and children’s mental health in the charity sector.
My Self-Care
I have been supported and nourished by a long-standing yoga and meditation practice for over 2 decades. In addition to my personal practice, my introspection is anchored in verbal therapy; my joy and self-care is rooted in dance, writing, art, and time in nature. My professional support and accountability is accessed through monthly yoga peer-group supervision and clinical supervision.
I have experienced cultural, social and economic diversity. I am slowly learning to reclaim all parts of my Self.
