Whether you're new to breathwork, meditation or mindful movement, or you're a seasoned participant, these sessions offer a safe, nurturing space, to slow down, reflect and feel fully present.
How this came to life
My journey began when I discovered how mind-body practices such as breathwork, meditation and yoga, can help regulate the nervous system and support healing. Over the years I have trained extensively and worked with diverse clients, including those affected by trauma. Also, through my own lived experience, I blend these practices into my life and wellbeing. I was the first in the UK to train in pioneering trauma-recovery yoga, delivering classes in refugee camps in Afghanistan and other war torn-countries. These practices continue to shape how I guide others on their own path and healing journey.

In this shared space, we reconnect with the breath and body, cultivating presence and calm and gentle acceptance. The sessions can support you in letting go and coming to terms with what was, with me here to guide you. These trauma-informed practises offer space to simply be, while exploring your own path.
