Yoga came into my life during a time when the ground beneath me felt uncertain and it quietly became the place I returned to. A practice that helped me reconnect with myself and find inner presence. What I&#39;ve found on that path and what I want to offer in my classes is a space that&#39;s truly yours. A place where you can explore dynamic, creative movement or simply slow down and soften. Without pressure or performance, just an invitation to listen to your body and leave feeling a little more connected to yourself than when you arrived. Breath is at the heart of everything I teach. It&#39;s our most honest guide, always reflecting where we are in the present moment. Through different pranayama techniques, we learn to work with it rather than against it, discovering how deeply it can influence the way we feel. Sound became a natural extension of that practice. Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls create vibrations and frequencies that gently move through the body, inviting deep rest and helping release layers of tension we often didn&#39;t even know we were holding. Whats really important to me is that I see myself as a student first - always curious and always learning. That sense of openness shapes the way I teach and the space I hope to create for everyone who joins my classes and offerings.

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice — the word itself combines rei (universal) and ki (life force energy). The idea is that this energy flows through all of us, and when it gets blocked — through stress, tension, or emotional weight we carry — we feel it. In a session, I work with gentle touch or hands hovering just above the body, helping to clear those blockages and invite the energy to flow freely again.What I love most about Reiki is that it doesn&#39;t give you something from the outside, it reminds your body of what it already knows. Its own capacity to rest, to rebalance and recharge. People often experience a deep sense of calm during a session, a feeling of being held without having to do anything at all. I offer private 1:1 sessions as well as combined Reiki &amp; Sound experiences, where the bowls and the energy work together to take you even deeper into that stillness.Feel free to reach out of you have questions and book your appointment.

Sound works on the body in a beautifully direct way. Every part of us, even our organs has its own natural vibrational frequency, and when that gets disrupted by stress or tension, sound can help bring it back into balance. The tones from Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls don&#39;t just reach the ears, they move through skin, fluid, and bone, creating a sense of relaxation that reaches all the way down to a cellular level. In a session, you simply lie down and let the sound do its work. The frequencies have a profound effect on the nervous system, guiding it into a state of deep relaxation as well as supporting better sleep for those struggling with sleep disruptions. Many people describe it as one of the few times they can switch off completely, no need to do anything, just receive. I offer Sound sessions both in small groups and as private 1:1 experiences, as well as combined Reiki &amp; Sound sessions for those who want to go even deeper into stillness.Reach out for me for more questions &amp; book your appointment.
