About Me. 

I was born in Aryshire, Scotland however due to my fathers work we moved house regularly throughout my childhood. This taught me to be a brilliant chameleon, I was able to fit in with whatever person / situation was thrown at me. It made me a superb sales person, which I did as a career for over 10 years.

​

This incredible skill to "fit in" started to feel like a chain around my neck as I reached my 30s, I had a great job, incredible social life, my own place in London however I had this odd sensation that I was living someone else's life. 

​

I left my job, my flat and my friends and moved to Sydney and found my first yogi love, Bikram which started me on the journey of searching for me.

​

It wasn’t until I was struggling with fertility that I found Kundalini yoga, it was a dark night of the soul.  Lots of hospital visits for fertility treatment, the elation of pregnancy, then the crushing disappointment and shame of miscarriage.  A workshop and a new Kundalini practice helped to calm my mind, allowed me to find a stillness and acceptance I hadn’t ever felt..eventually the babies came.

​

In 2016 we moved back to the UK from Sydney  and I picked up my Kundalini journey with a weekly practice in Ramsgate. I began to feel grounded like I had never had before,  things started to seem crystal clear, my parenting changed, my social life altered, relationships adjusted. In 2019 I trained to become a Kundalini yoga teacher.

​

Kundalini yoga is my tool for navigating my life. It has taught me that we can choose how we respond in every minute to every situation.  There is always a silver lining and there is always a shadow too. When we start to live within these polarities we begin to see everything as an opportunity even on the most challenging of days.

​

In addition to my practice of Kundalini yoga I am also passionate about mental health and wellbeing, I work with the charity Shout as a volunteer, supporting people in crisis.  

As  part of my ongoing development I have completed a number of qualifications to support this work.  Including Mental Health first aid in work place, Youth suicide prevention with Mind,  Level 2 Counselling skills and NSPCC online safety course.
