People often ask me why I do this work. 

The answer is deeply personal.

As a child, I struggled with anxiety that grew into an abusive relationship with bulimia because I didn’t feel good enough and I didn’t know how to emotionally express myself. 

This led me to pursue a career in child counseling because I wanted to create a safe space for children to be seen and heard, and to share their feelings openly and honestly, something I did not have growing up. 

After training and working as a child counselor for 9 years, I was still struggling personally with anxiety and bulimia, and I needed more than western-based talk therapy to heal. 

So, I quit my job and went on a BIG healing journey to learn more eastern-based tools and practices, which heavily focused on embodiment. 

I qualified as a yoga teacher, teaching in Boston, New York and Bali and it was in Bali that I studied Yoga Therapeutics which introduced me to the healing power of embodiment. 

The healing I underwent was deeply profound and transformational. 

Self-hate forever shifted to self-love.

It was around this time that I realised I had spent my professional career treating the symptom, not the cause.
