Talk to me about living with: Autoimmune illness, chronic illness, sarcoidosis, endometriosis, PCOS, brain tumour, headache, trauma recovery, chemo therapy, Prednisolone, arthritis, Botox for migraine, how vulnerability & realness is strength, how yoga & mindfulness can have a massive effect on pain management & recovery.

I became a Yoga and Mindfulness teacher because of how these tools were a life saver through the slow recovery, pain and chemo, but more importantly: How they changed my life & way of living it.🌱

I was not born zen. I’m a former overachiever & perfectionist living a fast and busy life - I had to learn how to slow down & take care of myself + realise my value independently of what I achieved or accomplished.
I still have high goals - just different ones! And I have totally transformed how I work towards them. I have walked the walk. I know how difficult self care can be when you are hardworking & used to be the pillar for others.

I help students find their inner steadiness to navigate the challenges of life. Health wise, burnout, stress, overwork, grief and more.

I run my own yoga business, and I’m passionate about bringing yoga out of studios and to people in different settings - meeting people where they are - and I’ve been lucky to work with everything from: FENDI in Rome, to Wanderlust 108 in Milan, ELLE Norway to the Buddhist Temple in Oslo.

Former life: environmentalist, public speaker & media spokes person for WWF. Communication & community building.
With a bachelor in Biology + a Msc in International Environmental Studies - I have been living in Norway, Costa Rica, India, Australia, and now Italy.
