My background

I have been curious about the workings of the mind since I was a teenager, and discovered Buddhism when I was 16. I began practising Yoga aged 20, and soon after travelled to India for a four month foundation Yogic Studies course at the world renowned Bihar School of Yoga. This was just the beginning. I completed my Yoga teacher training with Swami Pragyamurti in London, and then returned to Bihar to live in the ashram and immerse myself in Yogic culture and practice. Finally, after 7 years there, in 2012, I returned to the UK and settled in Devon.

During my stay in India I had found a psychotherapeutic understanding vital to the journey I was on. So on returning to the UK I pursued my training in psychotherapy.

I am now working combining these two disciplines which is very much at the cutting edge of psychotherapeutic care providing relief and healing to the whole person.

I have 2 young girls who are enriching my life and provide joy and challenges in equal measure!
