Yoga changed my life. For years, I battled Adrenal Fatigue and an Autoimmune Disease — a struggle made harder by my relentless work ethic in the corporate world. I often worked 13-hour days, pouring every ounce of energy into my job, leaving nothing for myself, my family, or my friends. It became a vicious cycle of stress, propped up by steroid injections, western medication, and coffee — just to survive each day.

Desperate for a way out, I returned to Yoga and began exploring a more holistic lifestyle. Instead of booking holidays to escape burnout, I started attending Yoga retreats — not realising at the time how profoundly they would change me. The retreats gave me space to rest, connect with like-minded souls, and gather the tools I needed to reclaim my health and happiness. It wasn’t long before I trained to become a Yoga teacher, a pivotal moment that marked the beginning of a new path.

What struck me most was that Yoga offered so much more than physical poses. The real magic unfolded when I looked beyond the surface — into the breathwork, the philosophy, and the deeper layers of healing. As my practice evolved, I became stronger and more mobile, reduced my pain, and boosted my energy levels. My mental health improved, and my entire outlook on life shifted.

I eventually said goodbye to corporate life, choosing to seek alternatives to a lifetime on western medication. And guess what — I haven’t taken any for over seven years. My autoimmune symptoms have stayed at bay (unless I slip into old habits!) and I’ve learned how to nurture my wellbeing from the inside out.

With over 1000 study hours under the guidance of world-renowned teachers, I continue to explore holistic healing practices that support optimal health in today’s fast-paced world. My passion lies in going deeper — combining Traditional Chinese Medicine, Organ Health, the Energetic Body, and Breathwork. Sound and Reiki have also played a huge role in my healing journey, and together with my husband James, we weave these practices into transformative experiences for others.

Through Root2Rise, we offer private sessions, group classes, workshops, and retreats — each designed to help you shift stagnant energy, awaken your inner healer, and rise into your fullest potential.

I'm proud to assist my mentor, Sarah Lo, in her Yin Yoga teacher trainings (www.sarahloyinyoga.co.uk) and I'm listed in Bernie Clark’s Yin Yoga Teacher Directory (www.yinyoga.com).

This journey has taught me that true healing isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about uncovering the root of imbalance, nurturing your energy, and rising stronger. I hope to share these tools and experiences with you — so you too can move through life with more vitality, balance, and purpose.
