I am a Yoga Australia certified yoga instructor with a commitment to support my clients in their journey of discovery, self-care, and connection by creating and holding a safe space for them, thus making yoga accessible to every body, regardless of age or physical ability.

I am qualified in teaching Vinyasa Flow, Parent-Child Yoga, Children’s Yoga, and most recently pre- and postnatal yoga.

I have a special interest in yoga as a practical tool to strengthen the parent-child bond – which is the focus of my part-time business, Flow & Grow Family Yoga. I am also mother to one little person and work part time in administration at a local school – so I know the demands of being a working parent first hand.

My ‘first life’ was in the theatre, and it was while training as an actor at Flinders University Drama Centre that yoga first found me. At the time, I enjoyed it mainly because it offered a gentle way to develop physical strength and flexibility. Later on, while working as an actor, dramaturge and teacher for various companies and arts organisations, I came to appreciate yoga also for its meditative aspects. It’s a great way to prepare the body and calm the mind before going on stage!

Yoga and meditation also helped me to keep my body healthy and my mind strong as I navigated the ups and downs of life while teaching at university and writing a doctoral thesis in theatre history, which I completed in 2013.

Between 2013 and 2019, I lived in Berlin, Germany, where I worked as assistant manager at DAS Akademie, a language school in the heart of Berlin, and later taught paediatric first aid for BilderKraft Berlin.

In 2017, our beautiful son B was born and I discovered children’s yoga while on maternity leave. I trained as a children’s yoga teacher with Nicolai Romanowski at the Pädagogisches Forum für Yoga (Pedagogical Forum for Yoga) and in parent-child-yoga with Andrea Helten of Kinderyoga Berlin. Before returning to Australia, I taught at various kindergartens and the SOS Kinderdorf Berlin.

Wishing to deepen my knowledge of yoga both as a practice and philosophy, I found expert guidance and inspiration in Heather Agnew of Yoga Trinity, with whom I completed my 300-hour Vinyasa Flow yoga teacher training in 2021.

In life as in yoga, the learning never stops and professional development is key to staying engaged (and engaging!) as a teacher. I love attending AcroYoga workshops with Raven Grace from Soaring in the South, and in 2024 I also completed my pre- and postnatal yoga teacher training with Pru Davey at Shantarasa.

I believe the most precious connection we have is the one with our children, and it is my mission to help parents and children connect – with themselves and with each other – through the joy of family yoga.

I hope you and your children can join me on the mat one day soon!
