Your Yoga Teacher, Massage Therapist & Wellbeing Coach

Since age 19, I have immersed myself in Yoga, with extensive travels across Australia and Southeast Asia, deepening my practice and exploring holistic therapies like Thai Massage.

Alongside diverse academic pursuits, including completing an Anthropology and Sociology degree, I trained in Ashtanga Yoga, and Ayurveda in India in 2014. From 2014, I taught Yoga across various institutions in Bath and continued my Yoga teacher training obtaining qualifications in Yoga Therapy, Hatha, and Restorative Yoga. I also taught English as a foreign language in Thailand in 2013 followed by gaining a Cambridge qualification (CELTA) in Bath and teaching foreign students at language schools in Bath. My passion for holistic health led me to study Massage and various Bodywork techniques, the first one I studied was in 2001 in Thai Reflexology, and my main ITEC Holistic Massage qualification was obtained in 2016. I eventually founding Metta Yoga and Massage in 2019, combining Yoga teachings and Massage therapies.

​

My inherent compassion and commitment to supporting those facing challenges (having faced many of my own from childhood), combined with a keen interest in holistic health, psychology, and personal growth, have guided my educational journey and motivated the establishment of this company. Specifically drawn to trauma and its therapeutic approaches, I frequently collaborate with clients who have experienced trauma, seeking to provide meaningful support and healing.

 

Believing in a holistic approach to wellness, I integrate mind, body, and emotions in therapy, drawing from personal experiences with Yoga and Massage to benefit my clients. Continuously seeking growth, I try to engage in ongoing learning and travel when I can, driven by curiosity and a desire to see more of the world and expand my skills. I also enjoy the Arts like theatre, film, live comedy and music, and any kind of creative outlet like painting and playing guitar, and would recommend them for therapeutic purposes.

​

I completed a Counselling and Psychotherapy Foundation at the Bath Counselling and Psychotherapy Centre (BCPC) in 2023. This equips me with essential therapeutic listening skills to enhance my clients' healing journeys. Additionally, I have completed a Life Coaching Diploma, Women's Holistic Health Coach Teacher Training, and a Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner Certificate. These qualifications enable me to offer comprehensive Wellbeing Coaching services.
