Yoga Therapy

My Journey as a yoga teacher is interwoven with my career as a registered nurse and specialist community public health nurse. In these roles I have had the opportunity to provide care using a holistic approach considering a person’s physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing.

I have worked in many health settings and more recently in schools across Norfolk and Suffolk where I realised the need for more compassion and understanding for our young people and their overall health. Witnessing the impact of stress and anxiety on young people firsthand only fuelled my passion for sharing the transformative benefits of yoga, including breathing practices and movement therapy. I was determined to provide a nurturing environment for children and young people where they feel safe, happy and connected.

The holistic sessions that I offer are child-led and playful. They include body focused activities like yoga to promote emotional regulation and self awareness. The sessions encourage young people to reconnect with their bodies and emotions by helping to mindfully feel the sensations and impulses. This somatic process leads to a better relationship with their behaviours. The research shows that this supports and cultivates resilience, and can even reset the nervous system after continued practice and therefore, help our young people to manage stressful situations.

My approach is compassionate, trauma informed and intuitive.
