Thank you for visiting my site. I am a qualified Karuna Yoga teacher and Sound Healing Therapist.

I trained with Ruth White in 2002 for 2 years . It is an approach to the yoga practice with emphasis on alignment of the spine and balance, strength and flexibility of the mind and body.

I have had over 30 years experience in holistic therapies and have developed a therapeutic approach to my yoga teaching.

My main goal is to give my students a more positive and healthy outlook on life and to adopt a less stressful state of mind, body and spirit.

"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart.
Who looks outside ....dreams. Who looks inside ...awakens."
Carl Jung

"Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.”

I became a regular yoga student and after nearly two years of a lot of sweat and inspiration I was accepted by Ruth White's Yoga Teacher Training Course and 500 hours later I was fully certified.

I qualified in 2015 as a Sound healing therapist with the College of Sound Healing. The course has deepened my understanding and discovery of the powerful effect of sound for healing, Nada Yoga , "The Yoga of Sound".
Sound therapy has the ability to shift negative emotions & some illnesses. My voice has been trained as a healing tool, toning, mantras, Himalayan bowls along with various instruments, for re balancing the 7 main chakras for health, wellbeing, deep relaxation & Meditation.
