For just over 20 years I was a senior operations manager, and although it took up most of my life it was a job role I really enjoyed. In 2014 I was made redundant, this gave me the push I needed to stop and think what I wanted to focus on and it gave me the opportunity to re-evaluate my lifestyle.

I’ve always had a very keen interest in my health and well-being, so that same year I decided to qualify as a fitness instructor and Personal trainer. This was so me!!!! Doing what I love as a job, helping myself and others to become healthier, stronger, fitter and more confident.

I soon began to discover more opportunities to develop my skills in the fitness industry. My goal was to study something new every year, this led me to my next journey, to qualify as both a Pilates and Yoga teacher.  I was regularly attending both Pilates and Yoga classes, and could really see and feel the amazing benefits they gave me. I love the way each of these disciplines helped me to connect both mind and body, and although there are some similarities between the two, they are also very different and by doing both gave me the insight to see just how each one complements the other.

I still really enjoy doing Personal training and teaching a variety of other fitness classes, however, when I teach a yoga or Pilates class I just come alive with passion and creativity. This is my future, I absolutely love to share all the amazing benefits both Yoga and Pilates can bring to your life, I strongly believe they have changed the way I live, and I fully appreciate and honor the basic concepts they provide you with. What an amazing thing to share and allow others to feel so much better about themselves. I'm pretty sure no one as stepped off a mat feeling worse after an holistic class. 

My Yoga journey as taken me on many retreats over the years, either in the UK or Europe. Mainly done for self-development and relaxation, however, I do like to share with honesty and respect my learnings and experiences with my students in class. My aim is run my own retreats starting this year in the UK, research is always a great idea!   

I am a Level 3 Diploma trained Yoga teacher, I am currently over half way through my 200 YTT and will complete the course in May 2023.
