I first tried yoga while working as a journalist on a busy national women's weekly magazine some 20 years ago. Work was stressful. So, once a week I would head down to the ground floor of our office block in South East London, unfurl my mat then breathe, move, reflect and find comfort in stillness. From that very first session, I was hooked. I knew yoga would have to be a part of my life going forward, but never imagined my path would lead me to teach. 

​

Soon after, I discovered kundalini yoga and the call to teach became strong. I completed my Kundalini yoga teacher training in 2013, followed some years later by Classical Hatha in 2019 and menopause yoga in 2023. But despite these certifications, I still prefer to describe myself as an eternal student of the art of yoga, for I believe that when you stop learning, you should stop teaching. There's a humility in the knowledge that you will learn something from your students in every class. These invaluable lessons keep me grounded and, I hope, add value to every class I lead. 

​

Today I continue to teach two weekly classes as Ifeyoga.com, run regular yoga/sound bath sessions and hold space for our wonderful retreat attendees. I follow the traditions of Swami Sivananda, Swami Vishnudevananda and Yogi Bhajan and have continued my journey with a certification in menopause yoga and recently an exploration into the Sun, Moon, Fire yoga tradition. Through this all I encourage my students to use the pauses between asanas to connect with self, to reflect, to become more aware, to transcend the material in search of the spiritual. And to do this all with a smile...

These are the very things I strive for in my own exploration of this ancient, beautiful science. My purpose now is rooted in deepening my own consciousness through practice, meditation and study and in the sharing of this knowledge in class. ​​​

Prior to taking a leap of faith in myself as an Entrepreneur/Businesswoman, I was in the corporate world (Financial services) for 32 years serving in different roles, starting out as an Admin Assistant, working my way up to Middle Management, managing teams..

I was that busy, professional woman who served everyone but forgot myself . Work became stressful and overwhelming. It was my wake up call. I sought nutritional therapy to support my wellbeing and studied massage therapy, vowing that one day I'd set up a wellness platform for women, to help make their wellbeing a priority.

Over the years, I continued to add more modalities to my work from holistic wellbeing therapist and coach to meditation teacher and mental health in the workplace advocate. Eventually, in 2019, I launched my holistic, self-care brand Wellbeing Well YOU aimed at women who feel ready to embrace and prioritise their wellbeing.

Now, I empower busy women, female founders and professionals to slow down, prevent stress or burnout and find balance through transformative, sustainable self-care practices. I offer compassionate support in a confidential, safe space where you can bring the whole of you. I give you permission to PAUSE, whilst striving for success. I offer coaching, massage therapy, meditation sessions, self-care 'audit' resets, as well as running holistic women's circles, wellbeing workshops, retreats and workplace wellness days.

Through these practices I'll work with you to create your bespoke self-care roadmap, empowering you to align your mind, body, and soul. Over time, you'll be ready to step into a life of balance and contentment, with a purposeful path to success.

Your transformation starts here...
