I came to breathwork after years of feeling both too much and not enough.

I’ve always loved communication, but true self-expression didn’t come easily. Like many, I grew up as the “good girl” - a gifted people-pleaser - and by my twenties the unhealed parts of me were quietly running the show. In my thirties, back in Poole with my husband and two young boys after 17 years in London, I felt lost and disconnected. Panic attacks and dissociation took me to therapy, where I began to see that my pain wasn’t about anyone else - it was about me. That was the beginning of my journey home to myself.

Creativity was my first doorway back. I picked up my camera again, wrote, sang in a choir, danced, and found Qoya - a movement practice that felt like home in my body. I loved it so much I trained to teach it. During lockdown I launched She’s Illuminated, a podcast for honest, heart-led conversations.

Then I found breathwork. My very first session cracked me open - grief, rage, joy, and love moved through me, releasing old self-beliefs I didn’t even know I was holding. And with that release came peace and clarity I had never known. Over time, breathwork became my medicine: it helped me regulate my nervous system, reconnect with my body, trust my intuition, and speak my truth with more freedom.

This practice has become the heart of my work. For almost seven years I’ve guided thousands of people through breathwork, weaving in music, movement, reflection and creativity. I bring with me twenty years’ experience in the creative industries - from Saatchi & Saatchi to supporting women in building aligned businesses - alongside my training as a counsellor and Qoya teacher. And always, I bring the lived wisdom of being a mother, partner, and woman who has walked her own path of love, sobriety, resilience and self-discovery.

My deepest desire is simple: to help you reconnect with yourself - your breath, your body, your truth - so you can love and accept all parts of who you are.
