Recovery can be more than learning how to cope.

It can be a process of reconnecting with yourself.

For more than five years, I have worked therapeutically with people experiencing addiction and recovery. One thing this work has taught me is that recovery is rarely a straight line.

It can involve stress, anxiety, cravings, disrupted sleep, emotional ups and downs, fatigue, uncertainty and the challenge of rebuilding a sense of stability and trust in yourself.

My work as an Integrative Yoga Psychotherapist offers a space to meet these experiences with compassion and curiosity.

We begin where you are.

Sometimes that means learning how to feel safer in your body.

Sometimes it means developing tools to regulate the nervous system and manage overwhelm.

And, when there is enough safety and stability, our work may gently move deeper — exploring patterns, emotions, beliefs, relationships and experiences that may be asking to be understood.

There is no pressure to go anywhere before you are ready.

The intention is to help you reconnect with your own resources, develop a greater sense of choice and, ultimately, rediscover a sense of wholeness.

You don’t have to have it all figured out before you begin.

1:1 online support for addiction recovery and renewal, wherever you are in the UK.

If you’re wondering if it’s right for you, you’re welcome to book a free 15 minute discovery call. It’s a relaxed space to talk through your goals, ask questions, and explore how this approach could support your recovery and wellbeing.

Want to teach chair yoga with confidence?

What if you could complete your Chair Yoga teacher training at your own pace, while still having someone experienced there to guide, encourage and support you?

I’m offering 1:1 online mentoring alongside the Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga (LVCY) Teacher Training.

The LVCY method is a beautifully structured and highly adaptable approach to Chair Yoga, designed to help you meet people exactly where they are.

With its unique Levels of Flexibility system, you’ll learn how to adapt practices for different abilities, mobility levels and needs — including wheelchair users and people living with chronic health conditions.

Your training includes:

32 hours of self-paced learning
1:1 mentoring with me
200-page digital training manual
Video library access
Practical & written assessments
LVCY Teacher Certification

But this isn’t simply an online course.

You’re learning independently, but you’re not learning alone.

I’ll be there to help you make sense of the material, answer questions, explore adaptations, build your teaching confidence and support you through your assessments.

Perfect for yoga teachers, yoga therapists, healthcare and wellbeing professionals, carers, support workers and exercise/community facilitators.

If you’re ready to bring safe, accessible and empowering yoga to more people, I’d love to support you through the LVCY journey.
