I am both a mystic and a mum of two lively boys (and a puppy), doing my best to remember my light in the beautiful chaos of everyday life.

Connected to nature and highly intuitive, I feel life deeply, which is such a blessing, though at times it has also felt like a burden. I see beauty and magic everywhere; in the elements, in people and animals, and in the way a flower holds the entire universe within it.

I also have very strong mental energy, and understand the need for cognitive satisfaction - and how easily that can tip into overthinking and mental exhaustion. Meditation is a beautiful antidote.

I love human beings, we are messy and magnificent And I also love to travel, and have lived in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Bali, Hong Kong, Dubai, and the UK. My son Bodhi says I “conversate” with everyone (he’s right).

Resonance.

You know how when something or someone is deeply aligned, you feel it immediately? It’s more than just a settling in the belly and your shoulders melting. It’s a deep, intrinsic knowing in your soul that this is right.

From my first yoga nidra experience at 15, aware only of my nostrils, suspended in peace, I felt as if I was visiting a wonderful, familiar place that I had somehow forgotten.

When I rediscovered yoga at 28, and felt that same resonance during savasana, I knew I would teach.

While I now know how to find my way back to peace, I also know what it’s like to be stuck “on,” overwhelmed and activated, or stuck “off,” disconnected and shut down.

My own path has included anxiety, people-pleasing, eating disorders, profound personal growth, and navigating an intense spiritual awakening that taught me just how important embodiment, grounding, and boundaries really are.

My lived experience is part of why I’ve devoted so much time to studying yoga, meditation, mindfulness, restorative practices, and nervous system-informed wellbeing.

For me, this work is about honouring the spiritual as well as the material, helping people bathe in being to balance out all the doing, and nourishing the body as the vehicle for the essence.

And as I walk (and sometimes float) along the self-realisation path, I am always asking…

How can I embody my light, so I can be grounded enough to make the lunchboxes and remember the Taekwondo uniforms?
