Background: Originally from South Africa where my studies began as a Reflexologist, I then travelled to England where we lived for 15 years and I immersed myself in various trainings in massage, reflexology, nutrition and Yoga. During this time I worked at an Osteopathic clinic and an Acupuncturist clinic and began my journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine. I have also trained with the Well Mother Institute based in France and England and the Yoga Birth Institute in London as a pregnancy yoga teacher and active birth teacher. I am also a qualified practitioner in trauma support, PTSD and pain management. I am now grateful to live in Auckland with my wonderful husband, 3 amazing children, our cats and black Labrador. We love nature and exploring, going on adventures and discovering all the beauty in the world.
Why I practice: I am passionate about yoga, body work, health and nutrition. When we connect with ourselves and begin the healing journey, transformation happens in every area of our lives. Relationships, health, careers and enjoyment of life.
Why I teach: I love to help people and guide them on their journey to wholeness and feeling amazing. My mission is to create feelings of joy, peace and wellbeing for all. My approach to health coaching, yoga and body work is from a space of deep connection weaving all aspects to better health into our session, gently guiding you. I have a natural calling to support women in peri-menopause, menopause and the golden years. With over 25 years experience working with all types of bodies.
