I’m an Integrative Coach, Embodiment Facilitator, Somatic yoga teacher, founder of The Embodied Female Pelvis course, and Functional Kinesiologist.

I’m passionate about supporting women through their cyclical stages of their lives, accompanying them towards embodied wholeness, health, vitality and feminine power.

I explore the interconnections of these - female nervous system, pelvis, menstruation, menopause, hormones, neurodivergence, trauma history, environment…... how they influence, weave together and show up.

I blend modalities - somatic movement, functional fitness, yoga, breath work, embodiment, visualisation, kinesiology, meditation, relaxation and journalling, and have 20yrs years experience facilitating yoga and embodiment.

I offer private sessions, workshops, classes and courses, online and in-person. A collaborater on projects and a guest teacher, facilitator and speaker.

A little more about me…..

Many moons ago I studied fashion design at Saint Martins school of Art, going on to work in Film and TV. These times were very exciting, creative and fun, but also came with extreme stress, anxiety and burn out.

As a neurodiverse introvert it was never going to end well! In those days self-awareness was not on my radar, neither was self-care or wellbeing, and I have to admit, my go-to methods of stress relief were more centred in the pub rather than on the yoga mat…….that came later! I went from one burn out to another.

My body had to shout very loud for me to take notice…….and it did - within 6 month period I went through a cervical cancer scare, followed by an ectopic pregnancy resulting in an emergency surgery and to top it off, an endometriosis diagnosis. I went through this really not understanding what was happening- I didn’t know what an ectopic pregnancy was, neither had I ever heard of endometriosis. It was a baptism of fire into female pelvic related health issues….

This crisis gifted me the portal to create systemic huge change in my life - I gave up my TV career, left London and moved to the Sussex coast .

This was my initiation into the underworld- a journey of grief, despair and breakdown from which came a radical change of life, healing and motherhood.

One of my lifelines was yoga and meditation, and I went on to study with the British Wheel of Yoga.

These past 20 years I’ve continued to study and research aspects of female health and wellbeing, from the esoteric to the scientific - psychotherapy, embodiment, menstrual cycle awareness, embodied female pelvic care, trauma, rites of passage, female nervous system, menopause and Functional Kinesiology.

I’m constantly intrigued by world around me and how we exist within it…….. a self-confessed somatics and science geek, nature lover, a seeker and explorer.

Women experience unnecessary suffering when it comes to physical and mental health partly due to lack of female medical research and the constant male bias and perspective that runs through society and culture.

My mission is to change this paradigm through female centered practices and education.

The biggest influence is my daughter, witnessing her grow up, witnessing the world through her eyes, she fills me with love and fuels my passion to make this a more female friendly world.

I live in the Sussex countryside with my husband, daughter and animals.
