I began this life as a farm girl on my family’s farm in rural England. After completing my studies in Psychology at university, my passion for adventure took me to Asia in 2004 where I embarked upon a career in finance but also began to experiment with both yoga and martial arts. My body and mind was tight, stuck and in pain and, over many years, I have found peace in this body-mind and connection to spirit in ways that I hadn’t imagined were possible.
I now actively teach & share my passion for the yogic traditions as one of Hong Kong’s resident Breathwork & Pranayama Specialists, Experienced Yoga Mentor, Coach and Master Reiki Healer. (Scroll down to learn more). I teach & mentor everyone, from yoga teachers to absolute beginners.
I also practiced through two pregnancies, births and postnatally, and continue now as a parent to two beautiful young ladies. One of my great passions is leading other parents through this journey, armed with the most incredible tools, to truly enjoy and be in-joy, allowing yourself the space to heal and grow as your brood grows.
Over the years, I have become a channel and I write what I receive, planning soon to publish my first body of work. This has been a journey into a willingness to experience all that the subtle world has to offer.
Having lived and breathed Hong Kong corporate life myself, and as a busy parent, I understand many of the challenges that you face. And some of my greatest teachers are my clients – I greatly value every new lesson.
