About
ABOUT
My interest in the body begun with a career as professional aerialist and dancer. I performed internationally for over fifteen years. Alongside my performing I begun teaching reformer pilates and yoga to help to balance my own body and share the teachings with others. My physical background has lead me to constantly strive for good alignment & body awareness, bringing a postural element to all of my classes. Whilst my energy healing informs my teaching by bringing an emphasis on listening to our intuitive nature. My classes aim to strike both an internal and external harmony, providing more space, clarity and ease in ourselves.
I completed my initial 200 hour teacher training with Yoga London and then went on to take a 300 hour training with Meghan Currie and Exhale Yoga retreats in Nicaragua. I am a pregnancy yoga teacher and studied with the wonderful Uma Dinsmore - Tulli and Lisa White and have taken Insight’s Yin yoga training level 1 with Sarah Powers. I completed my yoga nidra training under Tanis Fishman. I have been practicing yoga for over 10 years and is am a 500 hour RYT yoga alliance accredited instructor.
My energy work started at 18 when I studied reiki in India. This led me on to pursuing further bodywork trainings and completing my studies as a holistic and deep tissue massage therapist. I has completed CranioSacral levels 1 & 2 with the Upledger institute and continue to develop my skills with further trainings with Upledger.
My creative work centres around the figure and the body in motion. My extensive physical background has led me to focus on exploring first the creating and then the recording of movement; whether that be through film, aerial, dance, choreography, 2D or performance art. The relationship between the creating and recording processes are the constant stimulus for my work. I continue to explore this and am open to new collaborations and artistic residencies.
I view the body like a puzzle. I work with my clients to understand the pieces by creating space, flexibility and compassion for them. Working with my tools; whether that be through bodywork, energy healing, oracle cards or yoga I aim to help guide the body’s pieces into their perfect and unique placement.
