I completed a BSc (Hons) in Sports Studies at Roehampton and became interested in Sports Massage, as it proved to be the most effective treatment for a selection of chronic injuries that I had developed from high mileage road running whilst at University. I wrote my dissertation on sports massage and after graduating went on to do a variety of massage courses, including the critically acclaimed diploma in Sports and Remedial Massage at the LSSM under Mel Cash. This is the highest level of Sports Massage diploma currently available and was the first of it’s kind in the UK when I originally qualified. I have also completed a full Myofascial Release Course at the LSSM (ISRM) under Alex Fugallo, cadaver dissections with Julian Baker (principle of the European College of Bowen Studies) and I will continue to study a range of CPD courses to further deepen my knowledge and advance my practice.

I am a fully qualified, registered and insured LSSM/ISRM practitioner.

I have been extremely lucky to have encountered some hugely talented and inspiring yoga teachers on my own journey and my own sadhana will forever be evolving. In 2010 this culminated in me studying under Claire Missingham on her thoroughly intensive and fully comprehensive teacher training course in London. I continue to study and practise with a variety of highly esteemed Yogis and Yoginis, such as Alessandra Pecorella, Melanie Cooper, Denise Martin-Harker , Swami Nityamukatananda and Paul Fox to deepen my own personal practise and enhance my teaching. There is much overlap with my yoga and massage practise and I aim for each to further enhance and consolidate the other. I qualified as a Y12SR leader with Nikki Myers at Project Yoga, Richmond, Virginia (USA) in 2012. The Y12SR classes I teach at the Boiler House are the first to be held anywhere in Europe. I also provide weekly yoga classes for all clients on the Focus12 drink and drug rehabilitation programme, as I am a firm advocate of the integration of yoga into rehabilitative programmes and aftercare for addicts.

Currently I am nearing the completion of my RYT500 with the hugely inspirational Alessandra Pecorella. http://adityayogaschool.co.uk/  and I have also completed Pilates Reformer training and certification with Joanne Cobbe and continue to study with her to further advance my knowledge, personal practice and teaching progression.
