When your body speaks to you, do you know how to listen? Yoga is a way to set ourselves free and the Asana practice is just a drop in the ocean of wisdom that the wholeness of oneness holds for us, when we are ready to step into stillness. As a Yoga teacher I am always interested in bringing depth and understanding to the experience of being a living body and soul in the moment un folding. I guide my students home to the grounded base of their being and then onto higher realms within.
Sadhana is a sacred space of meeting the Self in the own body and beyond. My group classes are there for this self to feel whole in community through moving and breathing together. We amplify each other in our Yoga practice, allowing us to go deeper into stillness as well as accessing undiscovered resources in body and breath. Begin or pick up your journey in one of my courses.
1:1 Support
Yoga is the meeting of body and soul and sometimes this meeting needs the care of a space holder and guide with their full attention on you. There are moments in life that cannot be processed with a one-fits-all formula. 1:1 support is there for those moments, addressing the knots and ties that may have built up over time that it’s time to liberate.
My private classes offer a special depth and the impact of this work is profound and transformative. 1:1 support is especially helpful for postural issues, back or hip problems, pelvic floor reintegration, during pregnancy and postpartum or in the case of any injury that would make following a group class difficult. I also work a lot with yogis of mature age - which includes seniors that are completely new to Yoga. Get in touch with me so we can discuss if 1:1 support is the right path for you where you are in this life.
Pregnancy and Birth
Birth is a profoundly transformational process with incredible potential. Having soulful, gentle and intuitive support helps us create a conscious and grounded path into parenthood. I trust the birth process and as a birth worker this reflects in the ways I create an undisturbed, but supported environment for the unfolding of this sacred event - the birth of mother, baby and family.
My work as a doula is actually very much like my vocation as a yoga teacher - I am the guide of body-soul connection and birth is an event that fully depends on that connection. In supporting families as a doula I emphasise the idea that birth is a normal, physiological, family-centred moment that is part of the wholeness in this flow of life.
The in-depth exploration I do with my clients often comes with equal amount learning and unlearning. Birth asks us to fully surrender, completely trust and wholly be in the body. If the body isn’t a place where we are used to seeking out trust and presence, this can feel like an immense task. As a doula I help you find that connection and support you navigating the deep waters of birth with the right tools and from your centre.
Postpartum and Breastfeeding
Regardless if you need support in those tender early days after the birth or further down the line your breastfeeding journey, lactation consultations with me address your needs precisely and with intuitive care. Certifying as a lactation counsellor was a natural choice seeing how great the need for competent breastfeeding support is. In the first weeks of baby’s life we are navigating many elements - processing the birth, the presence of this new being attached to us, physical healing, sleeplessness and a complete transformation of our daily life. It can truly put us to test in whole new ways. Breastfeeding, in my experience for most newborn parents is like learning a new skill, requiring time, patience and practice. The right guidance on this path makes an enormous difference.
Just like there isn’t one kind of birth, there isn’t one way that the Postpartum time is experienced. It can be blissful, painful, healing and challenging or all these. It’s a day by day experience, sometimes hour by hour, but one thing is certain and it is that when we are supported we move through any ups and downs with more awareness, presence and acceptance. Regardless if you need support with breastfeeding, processing your birth, baby care, care and attention to your body through breathing and pelvic floor re-integration, postpartum nutrition or help at home my postpartum doula support shows up fully.
