I qualified as a mindset coach in 2013 before completing my first 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2015. I’ve since completed a further 400 hours of training, specialising in functional yin yoga, myofascial release, restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra, and the neurobiology of stress.

But my experience with yoga goes beyond my training. My body and life changed dramatically in 2019 when I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). Now I’m moving through perimenopause, everything is changing all over again.

MS and menopause share many overlapping symptoms, which means my yoga practice is constantly evolving. First, it helped me learn to live well with MS. Now, it’s helping me navigate perimenopause too.

I know yoga isn’t going to fix the complexity of being a woman in midlife with an autoimmune condition. But these practices give me space to work with that complexity rather than constantly trying to override it.

When our bodies are changing and life feels like too much, we need space to slow down, tune in and listen to what’s actually going on in our bodies. Yoga isn’t another protocol to follow, but a way of paying attention rather than pushing through. It's not a cure-all or another thing to add to the list, but a way to work with the bodies and lives we have today, and to meet ourselves as we are.

Which is why everything that’s helped me, I now offer you. My offerings are accessible, evidence-based, focused on functional benefit, and meet you where you are. My hope is that these practices will help you find that space for yourself too.
