My teacher training path was completed in 2004 with my mentor Barbara Brian at Agama Yoga Centre and I have been studying and teaching since then. A recent completion of a 4 year (1000 hour) study in Yoga Therapy has brought a heightened understanding of how powerful the practice in assisting wellness and healing in many conditions such as depression, anxiety, auto immune disease and more. My real passion is yoga as a philosophy of the mind and the way it can inform how we live in our modern world, particularly with our challenges around mental health. There are so many tools that can be explored and something that everyone can work with!

In 2019 I designed and taught yoga protocol on a research project – Yoga for Anxiety & Depression through Deakin University. This has since been published with significant outcomes. And in 2021 I began working on a research trial utilising Yoga as a Pain Management Intervention for women with Endometriosis – The Happi Study. This is still ongoing. In 2023 I will embark on working with Eating Disorder clients in a trial based at Barwon Health in Geelong.

I love teaching my group classes and making lasting connections with students on the mat. Aside from teaching group classes, programs and individualised Yoga Therapy at my yoga space, I am a Trainer for the 500 hours Teacher Training that is offered in the Krishnamacharya lineage and a Mentor to other yoga teachers. I am also certified Level 1 iRest Yoga Nidra Meditation Teacher.

I believe yoga is a way to find joy in life, live well and honour the temple we all inhabit – this body and mind.
