TEACHING: A teacher to me is on the one hand an enabler, someone who assists skilfully in the learning of another without claiming to be anything more than a facilitator. I aim at empowering students to own their experience and process and find their inner teacher. On the other hand, a teacher is someone who through practice, experience and study reached a level of knowledge and understanding which when it is shared enriches someone else's experience. I enjoy sharing what I've learned and keep studying a variety of subjects, practising with my teachers and learning from my students. A central dimension of my teaching is space holding. Holding space is like externalising mindfulness into 3D: creating a space of presence, awareness, trust, clarity, empathy, curiosity, and non-judgment for a person or a group. YOGA: I believe in the power of a yoga practice because - both as practitioner and teacher - I have experienced and witnessed significant shifts in inner as well as outer state and the experience of being alive. Firstly, it is a system that is based on ethical principles. It offers multidimensional practices ranging from movement and postures to concentration, relaxation and meditation all of which promote awareness, healing and training of our physical body, our breathing, our energetic body, our senses, and our mind. There is something for everyone. To connect to ourselves, we need to spend some time with, get to know and begin to accept, respect and love ourselves for who we are. My intention is to teach in a mindful way putting awareness first. The main teaching focus are breath- and heart-centred practices with accompanying movement and postures - yoga from the inside out. There are various studies that prove the positive effects of conscious breathing on psychological and physiological healing and a calmer state of mind. The techniques become tools that serve your personal journey and enrich your life. A yoga class also offers the opportunity to connect with and support each other without words or touch but through sound and breathing. THE FEMALE BODY: Since my first pregnancy yoga teacher training, I have gone on a journey of discovery around topics specifically relevant to the female body experience. It is a fascinating, beautiful and sometimes intense field of work. The intensity comes from the fact that the changes pre- and postnatally on a physiological, mental-emotional, practical and spiritual level can be incredibly challenging yet the mainstream message is to 'just get on with it' and 'to get your body back'. My intention is to bring women together, to hold space for their experience and offer useful practices for their special state of health. To deepen my knowledge around birth and to be able to offer more support for women and supporting men, I took a doula training in 2016. The more I learned, studied and experienced in this field, I realised that there is a lack of awareness around the importance of a healthy pelvic floor for general wellbeing alongside with shame and lack of opportunity to talk about issues like incontinence, prolapse and pain. I am passionate about doing my bit to change this by offering pelvic floor workshops for women. Another reality in a female body is a menstrual cycle and menopause. There is beautiful wisdom to be had when these female life and monthly cycles are embraced. Living as if we didn't have a cycle leads to ongoing underlying stress and a plenitude of health issues. In the era of the #metoo campaign, it is more evident than ever that there is a lot of trauma in women's bodies and hearts. I hold women's circles and half day retreats based in yoga which are a safe place to be and share.

My zone of genius is processes – I can quickly improve, reconfigure and map them. And the second thing is ideas – I can generate ideas very quickly and put them into a plan (basically a process). I have over 20 years of experience working at leading companies and I built my first business to six figures in just two years whilst employed full time (Yeah – it was really hard!) During my career, I’ve learned how to systemize, improve and implement processes to ensure that large-scale and complex operations run like clockwork. I now help business owners streamline the running of their business. I show you how to improve the way your business is managed and organised. And in turn show you how to grow, improve profit and introduce new services and income streams. My Mission It is my mission to help as many businesses owners to become efficient, streamlined, productive, profitable, and importantly, happy business owners with my business consultancy. A good customer journey is essential to continued success and I show businesses how to allow customers to buy with ease, build trust and authority with, and by the end, build customers to become your raving fans. How I work I am hands-on and I don’t just give theories. I use a combination of strategy, mentoring, consultancy and coaching. Every company and person is unique, and the approach shouldn’t be the same, it’s adapted to suit the person, the mission, values, and goals of your individual business. I also have a team to help bring solutions to you. Virtual Assistants to help with admin, specialised marketing experts and tech developers to build bespoke business systems (CRMs/Workflow systems) for small to medium-sized businesses. My style My style is straightforward, jargon-free, and looks at the foundations and heart of you and your business. I’m passionate and want to help you grow and instil positive change. The relationship doesn’t end there. You become part of my tribe. I will cheerlead you and shout about you. I will be there for long term support and advice going forward – if you want that, of course! It’s all done with a big smile, positivity, kindness and a genuine interest in the people and businesses I work with. What I love Living on the doorstep of the beautiful Peak District is bliss, I love nothing more than getting out and exploring. I also love hitting my local gym for weight and Hit training (I still can’t do a full press up – but I’m working on it!) Most of all, I love spending time with my husband, daughter, family and friends especially when it involves good coffee, cake, and food.
