Biography

Bio

I’m someone who’s walked through trauma and come out the other side with a deeper understanding that strength doesn’t always look like pushing through. Sometimes, it’s the quiet resilience that comes from learning to stay with what’s hard, to feel it in the body, and to move through it, layer by layer, over time.

As a war survivor and former refugee, and someone who has lived with chronic illness since childhood, I understand what it means to carry tension, anxiety, and inherited pain. My journey led me to somatic yoga movements, breathwork and meditation practices that helped me find steadiness, build strength, and grow resilience. I’ve studied the work of experts like Dr. Gabor Maté and Bessel van der Kolk, and trained in trauma-informed and accessible approaches that support nervous system regulation, self-awareness, and a more grounded, sustainable way of living.

I’ve led over 2,000 sessions, and every one of them has reminded me: we don’t need to fix ourselves. We just need spaces that allow us to soften, regulate, and reconnect. A space where your body doesn’t have to look certain way and your nervous system doesn’t have to hide.

That’s what I offer. A space where movement, stillness, breath, and systemic insight meet, where you can realign with yourself, reconnect to your strength, and feel more at home in your body and life. Group sessions are held by the Cooks River in Marrickville, Inner West Sydney. Private sessions are available online or in person.

My hope is that you feel grounded and supported every time you walk in. That you feel seen, heard, and leave more resilient and empowered. That your session feels like it was made for you.
Rooted in a deep respect for our shared humanity, I am honoured to welcome and celebrate you, just as you are.
