My path into this work started on the mat. In 2017, I completed my 300-hour teacher training at Shakti Yoga Centre, studying anatomy, pranayama, meditation and the Yoga Sutras. I still teach the practice close to how I was taught it: rooted in attention, breath and respect for where it came from.
Over the years, I watched people arrive tense, guarded and exhausted, and leave a little lighter. What stayed with me was how often the weight was not only in the body. Sometimes it lived in a belief someone had carried for years without ever choosing it.
That question took me into formal study. In 2025, I completed the qualification titled Master of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy at Oxford International College in the United Kingdom. In 2026, I trained through The School of RTT® under its founder, Marisa Peer, qualifying as a Certified Hypnotherapist and an RTT® practitioner.
Each discipline has a different role. CBT offers structure for understanding patterns in thought, emotion and behaviour. Hypnotherapy and RTT® use focused attention and suggestion to explore beliefs and the meanings attached to them. Yoga remains the work of body and breath. I do not blur the three together.
Most of my work begins with anxiety, confidence and self-worth, stress and burnout, habits that have not shifted, and the quiet inner voice that insists you are not quite enough. The thread running through it is self-compassion: learning to meet your own thoughts and feelings with something other than criticism.
The way I hold a session comes directly from my years in breathwork and meditation: unhurried, grounded and without judgement. I listen closely and adjust to your pace, your focus and what you actually need that day.
You do not need to arrive with the right words or a tidy explanation. You only need some part of you that is curious about what could feel different.
