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 hadn’t exactly been a smooth ride, 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 based in mindfulness. As it made interesting links between mind & body, it sat well with me. So well, that over time it became my compass.
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.
