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 to communities with barriers to access practices for wellbeing. Intercultural awareness and a trauma-informed ethos are embedded in my work. I am a yoga facilitator and teacher-trainer with a specialty in mental health and integrating trauma-aware principles into yoga spaces. Having been a faculty member for Yogacampus from 2010 to 2024, I continue to contribute to modules and discussions across various studios and yoga teacher-training courses in the U.K.

In addition to public work, I facilitate Movement for Healing C.I.C. - established in 2017 - offering specialised survivor-centred yoga to people impacted by domestic abuse, sexual violence and marginalisation. I am also a Director for Mamasuze C.I.C., an arts-based non-profit organisation that supports women and children refugees, asylum-seekers and migrants. I have an MA in Dance Movement Psychotherapy and have clinical experience working in a variety of mental health settings such as inpatient psychiatric units, community mental health and not-for-profit organisations.

I am an interdisciplinary movement practitioner drawing on two and a half decades as a yoga student and over a decade on (dance) improvisation, both as essential sources of vitality, joy and research. In addition to my personal movement practice, anchors of my own support are rooted in verbal therapy, writing, art and time in nature. I am held accountable through the guidance and mentorship of my yoga teachers, and in clinical supervision for my psychotherapy work.

I have experienced cultural, social and economic diversity. I am slowly learning to reclaim - and let go of - all parts of my Self.
