Feel new things
Mind-body coaching to help you feel more alive
Meditation
Do you want a mindfulness meditation practice that has real impact in your life?
Meditate in ways that you find interesting and motivating. Take meditation off the cushion and into your life.
Yoga
Do you want to move with more ease and pleasure?
Move with curiosity and playfulness. Enhance your body awareness, your mobility and your movement confidence.
Move in ‘all the ways’!
Mind-body coaching
Do you want to be in touch with your whole self - body and mind - so that you're more powerful and at ease in your life?
Tune into your sensations, emotions and intuitions. Discover how to support yourself to take actions according to your values.
I coach one-on-one or small groups (grab some friends!).
Sessions are interactive and tailored for your particular needs.
Find freshness and possibility.
Feel new things so that you can think and do and be new things.

Are you a bit numb from the head down? Out of kilter with your body and out of touch with your emotions? Do you feel imprisoned by your thoughts, and stuck in wornout perspectives and patterns?
We're not often taught how to work productively with our own inner experience and how to keep exploring and growing as humans.
Somehow, as adults, we're just meant to wing it and work it all out for ourselves!
So often we get stuck in constricting, painful, reactive patterns of body and mind.
We all need help to see new possibilities and to grow.
Whenever I coach and teach, I weave together the complementary perspectives of mindfulness, movement and embodiment. They offer fascinating and liberating ways to explore your mind-body and to open up new possibilities.
The body affects and expresses the mind, and the mind affects and expresses in the body. So it's natural to get the body in the picture when we're looking to change or to deepen our experience.
For myself and my clients, these practices have proven to be a path to more freedom and ease, and to vastly enriched experience.
You learn to feel new things, which is its own reward. But feeling more also allows access to new ways of thinking and doing and being.
Instead of feeling just a bit numb or lacklustre, we can find the sparkle of our own aliveness.

A bit more about me…
I’m a Meditation Teacher (Unified Mindfulness), an Embodiment Coach (Embodiment Unlimited) and a yoga teacher (Celia Roberts Yoga, now Biyome). I also hold a BA Dip Ed. I'm active in several international meditation and embodiment communities.
From a young age, my difficulties relating to my own body (resulting in a 10-year eating disorder) and managing my emotions (such as high anxiety and an inability to even identify my own emotions) propelled me along the fascinating path of mind-body practices.
In my twenties, I dived into yoga and Zen Buddhist meditation. My desire to explore mind-body practices only grew over time.
As my children became more independent, I pursued teaching/coaching studies in meditation, yoga and embodiment.
For over a decade, as a passionate hobby, I studied and performed (small-time) as a singer. My motivation when I sang was to ‘move’ people.
Not much has changed. I still want to ‘move’ people - to help them ‘feel’ and to get unstuck from in-grained, unproductive habitual ways of being to come into more freedom and ease in their lives.
That starts with offering space for my clients to get more in touch with their own body and emotions, to practice feeling their feelings with subtlety, and to learn ways to ‘manage’ their emotional-mental state skilfully.
All this relies on a foundation of awareness of mind and body. Meditation and yoga are fantastic tools to build this awareness. And the practices of embodiment highlight the intimate feedback loop between body and mind.
These practices are underpinnings of my own life and path.
I’ve learned that we can manage and change our state - around a particular issue, or even around how we’re showing up in our lives more generally - so that our way of being in any particular moment better reflects our values and goals.

My professional background is originally in secondary education but I've mainly worked as a technical and marketing writer in the IT industry. I still do part-time.
In my spare time, I love to hang out with my 3 adult sons, converse for hours over coffee with friends, walk my inner city neighbourhood, check out local art exhibitions, read and listen widely - and dance. I’ve always loved to dance.
