Studio Co-owner & Yoga Therapist

As a high school drama teacher,  I relied on my yoga practice to get through many a school production! I finally took the leap and completed my first teacher training in 2009 with Australia Yoga Academy, later finding my yoga home on the Bellarine Peninsula.

I’ve trained in yin, pre/postnatal & kids yoga, as well as somatic movement, Ayurveda & Qi Gong. In 2015 I gained her qualification as a Yoga Therapist and a senior registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Australia. I created the Makai Yoga Collective in Ocean Grove in 2020, navigating the rocky roads of covid at the time. I now co-run Makai as a community space in support of local teachers and their endeavours.

After naturally gravitating towards a passion for women’s health, and many years working in the pre & postnatal space, I now offer a 350HR Women’s Yoga Teacher Training at Makai Yoga Collective.

I love the meditative nature of somatic flow, which feels like a soothing whisper to the nervous system. When I’m not on the mat or with camera in hand, I’m enjoying the coastal life with family.
