About me

I trained as a mindfulness teacher with Breathworks and have done additional training with Bangor University and the Oxford Mindfulness Centre.  I have been teaching for more than ten years and have trained to supervise other teachers. I am registered with the British Association of Mindfulness Based Approaches (BAMBA).

My yoga training was with the London Yoga Teacher Training Course, based on the traditions of Scaravelli and Hatha yoga.  I am also a qualified Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs teacher and I am registered as a teacher with the British Wheel of Yoga. I have been practising yoga for more than thirty years and working as a teacher for more than ten years. Both yoga and mindfulness have become increasingly important to me, and I care deeply about sharing them with other people.  

Before training to teach yoga and mindfulness, I was a television journalist at the BBC and a freelance filmmaker and photographer, working for organisations including the Sunday Times, Al-Jazeera, English Nature, Save the Children and the Disasters Emergency Committee. My work has won awards and has been broadcast and published by newspapers and magazines around the world.  I also taught broadcast journalism at City University.  I have degrees in modern languages from Oxford (MA), in photography from London Guildhall University (MA) and in communications from Syracuse, USA (MSc).
