I am a self-confessed movement geek. I love exploring how the body moves and how powerful the connection between how we think and move is. Movement has always been a big part of my life, I grew up doing a lot of sport and competing at an international level. In 2006 I was diagnosed with ME/CFS, and determined to keep movement in my life I improved my health, energy levels and quality of life through yoga and nutrition. I went on to qualify as a yoga teacher and a nutritionist. I now specialise in back care and pain management through movement, mindset and pain science techniques.

After having my daughter I came across RYC^®. Whilst I didn’t have any major pelvic issues, I felt like my core just wasn’t quite right and I was having a flare up of back pain. RYC^® helped me get this back under control and I discovered a whole host of areas of my mobility where there was room for improvement.

I’m passionate about helping people to explore how RYC^® can help them in their day-to-day life. I love helping people to find ways to include movement into bite size chunks. I focus on what you can do, not what you can’t. My students will tell you that my class are fun, I don’t take myself too seriously, both giggles and tears are welcome. I offer 1:1 RYC^® sessions.
