Yoga & Meditation Instructor, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MA in Counselling Psychology (Candidate)

I am committed to creating spaces of safety, self-compassion, curiosity, and self-discovery. Holding a person-centered, trauma-informed lens, I bring a unique blend of nervous system education, somatic awareness, and contemplative practice into my classes.

Living as a deeply sensitive person in a world that often values achievement over emotional expression, I found myself “winning” by all external measures, career, income, and status, yet losing the one that mattered most: my lived experience. I was disconnected, numb, and ultimately burnt out. I knew this could not be all there was. That realization ignited my dedication to exploring yoga, meditation, and mental health, not just as ideas, but as practices of coming home to myself.

Trained in Northern India where I studied meditation in a Tibetan community and completed my yoga teacher training, I draw from both ancient wisdom and modern science, including mindfulness, polyvagal theory, trauma research, and the mind-body connection. Having assisted in mindfulness research for mental health, I integrate this understanding to support nervous system regulation, chronic stress, trauma recovery, and mental wellbeing.

My classes are gentle, invitational, and grounding, encouraging students to move at their own pace, listen inward, and meet themselves with compassion in each breath and shape. Whether exploring stillness or flow, I invite presence, softness, and a deepening relationship with the body and self.
