Full Story

I arrived in Oxford after the pandemic, not expecting the shift to feel so disorienting. Integrating into a new city took time - more than I thought - and I found myself navigating unfamiliar ground, obviously around me but mainly within. I became extremely disconnected from myself, and therapy helped me begin to understand what was happening beneath the surface - the build up of emotion, the disconnection from purpose, the subtle ways anxiety had taken over most of my everyday experiences. 

​

Returning to my yoga practice then became a quiet anchor. I started again where I was - from the very beginning, at home, on the mat, no expectations. Gradually I found bits of myself again, so I stepped out of the comfort zone into a shared space. This is when I found Everybody Studio, which very quickly became a second home and safe space. I kind of found refuge there and took my practice to a complete unexpected level - I shared powerful practices with people, myself, many inspirational and challenging conversations, got motivated and supported by an amazing teacher to just go get what I wanted. 

​

So from a dream and a vision, I went on to complete my teacher training - no fancy travel or tropical island - but an unexpected demanding, humbling and expansive process, which stretched me in ways I couldn't have prepared for. But it clarified how I wanted to grow and what I wanted to share with people. 

​

Then with the help of a few incredible people, P A U S E came to life. A few faces tagged along, kept showing up, brought their motivation, their stories, their trust. Their presence shaped the space more than anything I could have planned, and without needing to push it the community appeared and formed a home. This all became the foundation of how I teach now - finding/creating space where you can tune in, where awareness can grow, and you can meet yourself honestly and build the internal steadiness that carries into daily life, because the real practice happens in conversations, in reactions, in the way we relate to others. 

​

I am still learning and getting more trainings - about the nervous system, emotions, regulation, new tools - how movement, stillness, scents and sound can support that process. I'll keep learning, sharing openly and with generosity, because I believe these tools should be accessible, practical, and offered with care. Not from a point of fixing but to keep supporting what's already reachable and already within every single one of us. 

​

I am extremely lucky to consider this my full time job, and every single one of you who take the time to speak with me, share your stories, are making it even more special every time.
