About the Teacher
Why study with them?
I am a yoga teacher with over two decades of experience teaching and running retreats, and a certified coach specialising in Ayurvedic psychology (Sattvavajaya, the Ayurvedic approach to mental clarity, emotional regulation, and strengthening the mind), trained at the Rosenberg Academy in Germany. For more than twenty years, I have taught yogic and Ayurvedic lifestyle medicine through retreats, mentoring programmes, and consultancy, supporting people in restoring mental and physical vitality and guiding practitioners who wish to create retreats rooted in depth and purpose.
This work grew out of personal necessity. After years working in television news production within a high-pressure, fast-paced environment, I experienced a major health crisis. What initially felt like a breakdown became a turning point, compelling me to understand illness from the inside and take responsibility for my own healing.
That inquiry led me to India, where I immersed myself in Yoga, Ayurveda, and Vedic sciences. My studies later expanded through nature-based traditions and mind-body approaches across Africa, South America, and Europe.
Alongside this, I trained in Relational Life Therapy with Terry Real and studied nutritional and detoxification approaches to autoimmune conditions with Dr Gabriel Cousens.
Through lived experience and long clinical collaboration, two truths became clear: food is medicine, and the mind and body are inseparable. My work centres on helping people return to connection with their personal nature and nature itself through how they eat, sleep, move, and tend to their inner life.
When alignment is restored, the nervous system settles, hormones recalibrate, immunity strengthens, and meaning returns. From that place, clarity emerges about how to live and what one is here to offer.
