My Journey & Purpose
I started my wellness journey into Yoga, Reiki and beyond after years of working crazy hours, feeling disconnected and physically tight and inflexible. I didn't really know where I was going with it all, but a regular Yoga practice started me on my path to connection and wellbeing. Yoga and the various other practices I follow have made a massive difference to my life and I'm truly thankful to be able to work with clients to support them in their own journeys through these. My mission is to hold a safe and non-judgemental space for women, in particular, to connect with their inner resources and strength. We all have our own self-healing system and answers inside, but we tend to get in the way of hearing these with clarity.
More recently, I've trained in trauma release and - on the back of all the hard work I've put in over the years - it's really changed my life. So I'm super passionate about sharing this and my other healing modalities to support women in finding their inner resources and light, and to shine with all their natural radiance and purpose. I truly know that we are all here to shine a unique and wonderful light. Let's do it!
In recent years, I also worked with new groups such as teaching refugees and teaching at the North Devon Hospice, thanks to a stipend from the Yoga Alliance Teaching for Equity fund. This and losing my own Mum to cancer encouraged me to learn more about supporting trauma and cancer care and I now practice a trauma release technique which is proving really effective and I love to support people on their journey to the beginning of their life as their authentic self.
I love to work with women who are feeling that there's more to life but perhaps aren't quite sure what that "more" is yet. I also love supporting other lightworkers in their clearing of things that are blocking them stepping into their power. This has been a big part of my journey and that shadow work has been tough but amazing. If you're ready to make changes and release blockages and trauma, then I'd love to work to support you on with that.
