I completed my 200 hour teacher training in June 2017 at Yoga Therapies in Heaton, Newcastle.  

I'm primarily a counsellor and trained to be a yoga teacher once I realised how beneficial yoga can be for mental health issues and emotional well-being.  I provide one-to-one therapy and workshops combing yoga and mental health.   

My special interest is in the embodied experience and also working with eating disorders and body image issues (I have a PhD in the eating disorders and the embodied experience).    

I'm currently fascinated by how yoga, through its philosophy and effects on the nervous system (via its postures and breathing techniques) can be used to manage and / or improve mental health and emotional well-being.
