My journey

My mission in life is not just to survive but to thrive and enjoy this precious gift of life and  share what I’ve learned along the way with others who need support on their journey.

I was introduced to yoga by my mother in the 1980’s at 10yrs old, but my curiosity about the deeper aspects of Yoga, Yoga as a Therapy and Yoga Philosophy surfaced during times of personal struggle and ill health. I was looking for a deeper meaning and understanding of life.  Stress, pizza, wine, grief and unprocessed emotions took a toll on my health,  in my early 20's. I'd had episodes of post viral fatigue, later food intolerances, skin reactions and constant energy issues and hormonal imbalances.

Having come from a family with a long list of health concerns that conventional medicine doesn't have a quick fix for, like addiction, depression, anxiety and chronic fatigue, my own health issues terrified me. Both my parents died too young.  I saw my loved ones in pain, I felt their struggles and I saw how their spark for life dimmed and extinguished far too early. I also saw how their failing health impacted the people around them.  So, I decided over 25 years ago to do whatever it takes  to prevent history repeating itself. I took ownership of my own health and learned everything I could to re-ignite my vitality.  Yoga for health was my first discovery, and subsequently, Ayurveda (the original lifestyle medicine, with its roots in Vedic philosophy) and practices and study from these traditions started me on my own fascinating self-healing journey.

The power of daily yoga & meditation helped me heal mentally, emotionally, physically and energetically and still helps me re-balance daily.  Different stages in life have offered different challenges and my personal practices have evolved with me and sustain me ! Practice draws me back to my essence, keeps me on track and helps me make the changes I need to optimise my health, manage my stress and lead a fulfilling life.  Yoga (including meditation, postures, breath practices & chanting) underpin all of my lifestyle choices.   I once again uncovered my Joy and restored my health and vitality, thanks to Yoga, optimal nutrition for me, good sleep, outdoor exercise, nourishing friendships and relationships and doing the things I love. Yoga helps me navigate, it steers me to intuitively know what is right for me and helps me make the lifestyle choices and changes I need to make me the best version of me I can be.

I feel so grateful and privileged to have accessed ancient Yogic wisdom through my practice, studies and under the guidance of amazing teachers.  There is a growing need for these practices in todays society to enable us to, manage stress, heal, access our inner wisdom, reconnect with our true joyful nature and evolve with the world around us. So I want to share the wisdom of  Meditation, yoga and holistic health, to support others on their own beautiful life journey.
