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 and community-connection. Intercultural awareness and a trauma-informed ethos are embedded in my work. I am a yoga 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 trauma-informed 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 have been supported and nourished by a long-standing yoga and meditation practice for over two 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. 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.
