My Yoga and Bowen Story
My Yoga journey started at the age of 19, practising yoga for over 30 years. I originally qualified with the Yoga Alliance (2010) and later retrained to teach Iyengar Yoga, qualified in 2018 (https://iyengaryoga.org.uk/). I chose Iyengar yoga because it helped me, it gave me a deeper understanding of asanas and I love sharing my knowledge to help others.
My therapy journey started in Shiatsu and Craniosacral Therapy at the British School of Shiatsu, over 20 years ago. I went on to train in Thai Yoga Massage and qualified as an advanced practitioner taught by Kira Balaskas (http://www.thaiyogamassage.co.uk). I hold an Advanced Diploma in Thai Yoga Massage.
I later decided to do Bowen Therapy as it helped eliminate some long standing problems (headaches and weak ankles/falling over), after very few treatments they resolved. I was taken back by its effectiveness, so I trained in Bowen. I have been treating people since 2005 and consistently seen improvements after a few treatments.
I am also a keen rock climber and love the outdoors. I grow my own food for good nutrition and help minimise the impact on the environment.
