I love moments of spontaneous movement, quiet mindful insights and space for intellectual exploration. I get the most joy out of supporting people in becoming the best version of themselves.
I have spent over two decades exploring bodies in motion — movement is my first language. I started with contemporary dance: a physical, meditative, creative practice of finding yourself in motion.
The exploratory nature of dance sparked my curiosity for movement science — I like to know the “why.” Meanwhile, through my engagement in somatics and therapy, I discovered and immersed myself in the teachings of mindfulness. Everything naturally fell together, personally and vocationally, when I discovered yoga.
The highlight of my journey is a personal transformation through movement and mindfulness, which has inspired me to share these teachings with others.

I have spent over two decades exploring bodies in motion — movement is my first language. As a teen I spent my after-school hours in a youth dance company, mesmerised by the body in motion, captivated by the dedication, curiosity and awareness dance called for.
What started out as a love for movement, later became a way to connect to myself on a deeper level. In an otherwise unpredictable life, dance became my anchor. Despite a sense of limitation hanging over me, it nurtured me into growth. By the time school graduation rolled around, I decided to go all in.
Somewhat miraculously, I went on to study dance full time. I have always loved the physical practice, but as not everything came easily to me, I became more and more interested in movement science. While everyone else created choreography for their final project, I decided to research the science of external hip rotation.
Life wasn’t always easy, and full-time dance training was pretty demanding so rather unsurprisingly, I soon found myself in therapy. Little did I know that the modality I ended up in was grounded in mindfulness. As it made interesting links between the body and the mind, it sat well with me. So well, in fact, that it became my new anchor.
The threads of movement, mindfulness and science naturally came together when I discovered yoga. Needless to say, things spiralled from there! I soon completed my entry-level teacher training. As I scratched the surface of this extensive subject, it sparked in me a deep curiosity for further study of the body & the mind.
As a lifelong learner and a lover of nuance, I spent a lot of time in deeper study. This has shaped my practice into a unique blend — of the organic and intuitive wisdom of dance, the somatic insight of yoga and the intellectual curiosity of science. The more I learned, the more I felt integrated, authentic and whole – ready to guide from within.
