Warm and welcoming yoga and sound events, offering guidance to those seeking balance of body and mind.
I was introduced to yoga in my early twenties. Like many, I initially came to it for physical exercise. However, I soon experienced its positive, calming impact upon my mental health and general wellbeing.
In 2017, I decided to share these benefits with others, undertaking an 18 month Yoga Teacher Training Diploma with Yogacampus. This involved 320 in-person training hours, with a wide range of faculty teachers who broadened my knowledge. Since graduating, I have expanded my learning with further trainings. This has included teachers such as Judith Hanson Lasater, Doug Keller, and Lisa Kaley-Isley.
I am a qualified Restorative and Chair Yoga teacher, and trauma informed. My particular interest is in accessible yoga for mental health, previously teaching yoga with Rethink Mental Health. I am a qualified Mental Health First Aider.
In 2024, I qualified with a Level 2 Diploma: Professional Integral Sound Bath Certification with the Sound Healing Academy. I have always been musical from a young age, and delivering sound sessions resonates deeply with me. I host sound relaxation sessions for groups such as elderly and dementia care, education groups (teachers and students), corporate organisations, palliative care, and many more. Once a month, I deliver a Restorative Yoga and Sound session in West Bromwich and I host Sound Baths at Wednesbury Museum & Art Gallery throughout the year.
I have been leading community sessions in Sandwell since 2019. In May 2024, I founded the social enterprise Body Mind Collective CIC in order to further our work in the borough and make health and wellbeing services more financially accessible to residents. We work closely with Sandwell Council, Active Black Country and other funding partners, and we host corporate sessions which supplement our community offering.
My sessions are suitable for all levels and aim to be inclusive and accessible. They are a welcoming, safe space, where you can begin to explore the body and quiet the mind. Find out more about Body Mind Collective here or book onto one of our sessions here.
