NOURISHING LIFE

I began practicing yoga at 19 years old at the East/West Centre in London, whilst working as a trainee accountant. A change of path led me to go on to study for a degree in Psychology in Liverpool, where my interest in eastern philosophies and practices developed. I went on to work as a nurse assistant in a hospice, alongside training as a massage therapist and yoga teacher. 

 

Motherhood led me deeper into healing and ignited my search for ways to nurture myself and growing family. I discovered Steiner education and felt supported by the holistic approach and community it provided. I also came across Macrobiotics (meaning large life), which offers a holistic approach to health and

wellbeing rooted in a combination of Eastern philosophy and modern approaches to nutrition that aims to both heal and prevent illness.

 

Emotional healing has been key in my own journey.  I feel that the challenge to be fully present is rooted in our ability to release the past and the mental and emotional patterns that we are locked in. I have been inspired by the work of Eckhart Tolle, Michael Brown, Gabor Mate & Valerie Kaur.

 

From cooking classes, over the years  I’ve embarked on more in-depth study of Macrobiotic principles with many inspiring teachers and completed a 4 year professional training with

The International Macrobiotic School In Devon as an Accredited Macrobiotic Consultant & Medicinal Cook. This has enhanced my work as a yoga teacher and has enabled me to work more deeply with others on their healing path. I am particularly experienced in Women's Health and have worked for Fountain Retreats offering guidance and support to women going through menopause.I have worked as a yoga teacher and cook at Puissentut in the South of France,  offering retreats for people with cancer.

I am based in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire.
