As a holistic health and wellness therapist, she cultivates deep respect and admiration for the female body by guiding women during the different stages of their life, through pre- and post- natal yoga, and yoga to support the wisdom of monthly cycles and inner seasons.
Teaching pre- and post-natal yoga is about creating and holding space for future and new mamas, guiding them through somatic movement, breath, and facilitating regulation and co-regulation, as part of a community of women.
When she is not teaching, she enjoys a dip in the sea anytime of the year, a run by the water, her own yoga practice, and spending time with her husband and 3 beautiful children.
