Hello

I am a qualified Allied Health Professional and a committed practitioner and facilitator of yoga and ‘inner work’. I provide coaching, training, plans and programs that:
- take an authentically heart-connected, whole-of-person approach, 
- are client-centred, self-directed, empathic and  empowering, 
- foster sustainable change through active, experiential, evidence-informed and discovery-based methods that will help you explore, make meaning, assimilate and translate your experiences into profound and lasting transformation.​

​

I am a dedicated practitioner of Ashtanga & Hatha Yoga,

pranayama (breath practices), Yogic, Mindfulness &

non-dual Tantra meditation techniques, and general

movement & mobility practices.​​​​​​​

​​

​​​​​​​

​

I share from my own experience of transformative growth and healing. Much of the comprehensive toolbox of techniques and practices I draw on, I have explored and worked with myself. My approach is an integrative, holistic frame that is evidence-informed from both science and traditional (often categorised as Western vs Eastern) models of human care, psychology, health and development, with studies in the fundamentals of anatomy and nutrition and training in conflict resolution, communication and negotiation skills.​​​​​​​​

​​

​

One beautiful project I currently serve in is Thamarai, a non-government community-based

project of Auroville, where I design and implement Health & Wellbeing Education, Holistic

Development and Experiential & Embodied Learning Programs for local women, youth &

children in semi-rural Tamil Nadu, India. This includes: yoga & movement sessions; nutrition

education and practical learning programs; individualised support needs assessments and

planning; family wellbeing consultations; facilitator development programs; Integrated Learning

programs for children; and collaboration with paediatric and general medical teams and other

local therapists. Previously worked in injury recovery and workplace rehabilitation case management, claims and hardship case management, vocational assessment and planning, and vocational habilitation and support services for children and young adults living with disability/ special needs.

​

                                                                 As a resident of Auroville - a place of unending education - I am an avid, non-stop learner and action-based researcher. I work with integrity, with my heart-mind grounded in

compassion, and in accordance with the Australian Rehabilitation Counselling Code of Ethics

and other relevant professional codes (eg, Aus. Health Coaches Scope of Practice Guidelines)

and am accomplished in all of the Core Competencies of my profession.​​​​​​

I am both a Mystic and a Scientist; guided by intuition and intrinsic ‘knowing’ as well as phenomenological evidence. My approach has been shaped by my own personal experiences and journey of intuitive unfolding and transformation. It is not based on false dichotomies, but is truly integrative and holistic, and understands the path towards inner discovery and integrality is unique to each person I work with.

 

​​​​​​​My personal sadhana (daily practice) is the Integral Yoga (of Sri Aurobindo). It is a yoga of work, knowledge and love; to be realised and progressed through our embodied, earthly existence. This philosophy views the human being as consisting of multiple planes/ dimensions that are integrally interconnected, with the innermost core being that spirit or soul (psychic) that is our individual essence of the divine consciousness. For our deepest inner selves to be known and free, much work is often needed to harmonise the outer layers of the physical body, the vital and the mind with the inner planes and higher consciousness of our truest Being.​​​​​​​​​

​

                                                                                            In this way, I will work with you through an integral lens, considering all the layers       of your unique being, and the interrelationships and influences amongst them - and especially

to incorporate strategies to work on shifting, quieting, and aligning those challenging

surface layers that interface between our deepest inner Self and the outer material world.
