ABOUT ME
Drawing on over 10 years' experience of working with people who experienced trauma, alongside lived experience, I have a wealth of knowledge and experience to develop trauma-informed relationships that cultivate safety, trust and compassion.
I am based in London, UK. I offer face to face and online sessions.
I have been supporting people who experienced trauma since completing my M.A. degree on Theory and Practice of Human Rights in the University of Essex in 2009.
I worked for charitable organisations and community projects in different roles including as a family support worker, domestic violence specialist and freelance artist.
I combine my knowledge and experience to provide mindfulness-based trauma-informed support as a yoga facilitator, life coach, and support worker.
I completed Mindful Based Cognitive Therapy course at London Buddhist Centre in 2019 and with The Association Psychological Therapies in 2020. I have been joining several mindful movement workshops.
I bring my interests such as somatic movements, playfulness, vagus nerve activation and myofascial release into my work and I tailor needs-led sessions. I shape mindfulness based, trauma sensitive yoga and breathing exercises which incorporates somatic and subtle movements for one to one and group sessions
I also facilitates and co-facilitates therapeutic groups together with talking therapists and receive regular clinical supervision.
I regularly attend movement workshops, summits on trauma and compassion.
I completed Accredited Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher training with Susi Wrenshaw at Trauma Therapy Manchester. I also completed PCI-Accredited Yoga4Health Teacher Training Yoga In Healtcare Alliance in December 2022.
