My Journey

​

I've practised yoga for over 25 years, and over that time my practice has naturally evolved.  I discovered Ashtanga and Vinyasa Flow around 16 years ago, and I still love the energy and freedom of Flow.   As my own practice has developed, I've also come to really value the quieter side of yoga - particularly gentle and restorative practices, creating space to slow down, reconnect with the body and simply breathe.

​

My own experience with migraines also led me to acupuncture.  After years of headaches, I found that regular acupuncture made a significant difference and I became fascinated by its ability to support the whole person.

​

My own journey has also deeply influenced the way I work.  Between having my daughter and my son, I experienced two miscarriages and then spent five years trying to conceive again.  During that time, I learned a great deal about hormonal health, fertility and, perhaps most importantly, the emotional wellbeing that can be so closely connected to our physical health.

​

These experiences have given me a personal understanding of how difficult the journey can be, and have shaped the compassionate and individual approach I bring to supporting others.

​

Following a serious accident, I experienced first-hand how important gentleness, calm and taking care of yourself can be during times of physical and emotional vulnerability.  These experiences have shaped the way I work today.

​

I went on to study for a BSc (Hons) in Acupuncture at the Northern College of Acupuncture in York, graduating in 2017 alongside continuing my yoga training.

​

My approach today brings together my experience of acupuncture, yoga and wellbeing to offer thoughtful, personalised support to each person I see.
