About Me
I am based in Sheffield and offer Biodyanmic Massage, Yoga and Somatic Practices for all those that would like a greater connection with their bodies, others and the world around them.
For almost 13 years I have been immersed in body centric therepeutic practices such as yoga, somatics as well as extensive experiential group work. I have studied and practiced with some truly wonderful teachers and am immensely grateful for all that I have learnt and experienced.
I also offer touch as a form of therapy through Biodynamic Massage and I offer therpeutic movement and rest through Yoga, Yoga Nidra and Restorative Yoga.
I have a special interet in women’s health, womb health and perinatal health that includes Pregnancy, Postnatal, Loss and Abortion Support.
Biodynamic Massage
I am a Biodynamic Massage Therapist and trained with the Cambride Body Psychotherapy Centre.
After many years of teaching yoga and movement I was drawn to Biodynamic Massage as a way to work with the body through touch. Touch can be a deeply profound way to meet someone and to allow them to meet part of themselves and emotions that may otherwise be unaccessible. I have found it to be a transformative, relational therapy. Receiving Biodynamic Massage has enabled me to come into contact with parts of me that I was unaware of at a conscious level. I am so pleased to be able to now offer it here in Sheffield.
You can read more about my work here and book online also.
Yoga and Movement
I came to yoga in 2012 to live more fully and through feeling quite disconnected from my body. I was drawn to the mindfulness, peace and joy that yoga brought me. It enabled me to be in my body in a way that no other movement form had. I took my teacher training in the US in 2018 with Tiffany Cruikshank and the therepeutic school of Yoga Medicine and have been teaching ever since.
I hope to encourage each student to notice, lean into and find joy in all of their being and attune with their bodies and the world around them.
I offer support for all and have a special interest in perinatal yoga and care.
