Yoga has been a part of my life since I can remember. I have had many great teachers along the way, but one thing I have learnt is that yoga means something different to everyone! It has taken many different pathways to discover what it really means to me, and at the heart of it is the breath. Simply - when I breathe better, I feel better, I live better. There are many layers to add on to this simple starting point - I move better, I am more aware, my mind is quieter - more sensing, less thinking … Just 3 minutes of mindful breathing can be done anywhere and completely change how we feel, and everyone should know how to do it! Whether you put it into fast paced dynamic movements, slow flows and postures held for longer, or choose a more restful, floor-based practise, learning how to self regulate through the conscious breath is the invisible connection to our well-being. What I wish for anyone deciding to start yoga is ultimately to discover what it means for you, so you can choose and develop your own set of practices to support your everyday life … and feel better.

Sound, music & improvisation have been passions of mine for as long as I can remember. As a multi-instrumentalist and qualified Music teacher, I have spent the last 30 something years performing, composing, working in schools and facilitating workshops for all ages in many different musical genres. Now fast forward to 2023 and I am fully immersed in the incredible world of therapeutic sound, wellbeing and vibrational medicine. It has always been wonderful to see the affect and power music has, but during a surf trip in Bali I was inspired to study specifically in Sound Therapy. I love the sound signature of the crystal bowls, crystal pyramids, Himalayan bowls and the monochord and so usually design my Soundbaths using a combination of these. I have explored a variety of techniques and methods and been able to witness first hand the wonderful results that Soundbaths have and 1:1 treatments too, such as the Himalayan bowl massage on the body. Not only can they significantly reduce stress and anxiety by quickly inducing a state of relaxation, but they can have physiological benefits too; such as reducing pain, better sleep, removal of toxins, and the strengthening of the immune system.
