Lead Teacher

I’m a yoga and meditation teacher, Certified Health Coach, and Ayurvedic Nutritionist devoted to one simple truth: when life breaks us open, the path can also bring us home.

I was raised in Edinburgh, Scotland with a tender, intuitive nature, and I learned early what it feels like to carry a deep inner knowing in a world that doesn’t always have language for it. In my twenties, my relationship with my body became one of my greatest teachers, initiating me into the yogic invitation of ahimsa—non-harm—and the slow, (often wobbly) work of coming back into right relationship with it.

My life has been shaped by movement and reinvention—living and building homes across Edinburgh, Paris, Venice, Málaga, and New York City—each place offering its own lessons in belonging, resilience, and the meaning of true sanctuary. It was in New York that my outward exploration turned inward. Seeking a more authentic life, I moved through divorce and the intensity of raising my son as a single mother, learning the everyday yoga of steadiness, devotion and routine.

In 2009, I took a leap into the ISHTA lineage and began formal training with Alan Finger—an initiation that became my spiritual home for over a decade. Rooted in Hatha Yoga, Tantra, and Ayurveda, those years of study deepened my understanding of the subtle body and the intelligence that lives beyond the mind. Having already completed a Masters in Psychology and spent time teaching English Language and Literature, I found myself dedicating the second part of my life to the study of energy healing and holistic balance, culminating in 5 years of study in esoteric anatomy and energy medicine to become a Polarity Therapist.

Life continued to initiate me. I survived breast cancer, navigated chronic back pain, and learned how to work wisely with the medical system while staying anchored in inner authority. I also walked through a profound spiritual betrayal—an intimate relationship with a charismatic “healer” who misused esoteric teachings to manipulate and disempower. That passage became one of my deepest trainings in viveka—discernment—and in the sacred power of boundaries. It taught me, viscerally, the difference between spiritual performance and spiritual integrity, and it strengthened my vow to practice and teach in a way that empowers rather than entangles.

Ultimately, it was Ayurveda—and steady, consistent daily practice—that helped restore my body and reclaim my life force. My work today is an offering born from lived experience: a blend of grounded care and subtle wisdom designed to support modern women through real-life initiations—illness and recovery, grief and change, divorce, identity shifts, exhaustion, and the longing to feel like yourself again.

Through teaching, bodywork, mentorship, and online education, I guide students back to their own inner teacher. My spaces are both practical and tender, woven with yogic philosophy, nervous system support, and the remembrance that healing is not a destination—it is a return. A return to breath. To truth. To the quiet radiance of the Self.

My work is rooted in sankalpa (soul-aligned intention), abhyasa (steady practice), and satya (truth). With clear guidance and compassionate presence, I invite you to move from struggle into steadiness, from fragmentation into wholeness—so you can meet your life not as a battle, but as a sacred unfolding.
