ABOUT ME
I have been immersed in the path of yoga, embodiment and teaching for 25 years. The trying to conceive landscape is one I spent five years navigating.
I have one son, who arrived after our third round of IVF (it always looks so succinct written like that, but there are many, many chapters to this story).
I have felt a strong pull to support anyone treading this path. I found it a deeply isolating experience and I want to open doors to connection, understanding and support for anyone in this place. I particularly specialise in working with women who are experiencing anxiety amidst their trying to conceive experience.

Supporting myself to better support you
In order to hold space for you, I ensure that I maintain regular practices that allow me to reflect on my work and to regulate my own nervous system. I am an avid studier and will always continue to deepen my professional knowledge and understanding.
Every month I meet with the five women who were on my original YTT course for our own peer supervision. I have fortnightly transactional therapy sessions.
