I am a certified coach and yoga therapist. I support adults going through stress, exhaustion, emotional overload or a major life transition. I pay particular attention to how stress shows up in daily life: constant tension, a racing mind, trouble switching off, or the sense of losing touch with what you need.
- Stress, tension and exhaustion
- Feeling overloaded or having lost your bearings
- Career change, separation, relocation or bereavement
- Life after cancer
- Menopause
- Confidence and finding a more sustainable pace
You can come to me on your own, for your wellbeing or a period of change, or alongside psychological, psychotherapeutic or medical care. If our sessions show that medical or psychological care would help, we talk about it together and I refer you to the right person in the centre.
I combine coaching with yoga therapy, bringing conversation and reflection together with mind and body practices. We start from what you are going through and what you would like help with, and I adapt each session to your needs, energy and pace.
Coaching gives you room to put words to what is happening, clarify what matters to you and choose a next step that feels manageable. Yoga therapy draws your attention to what you notice in your body, such as your breathing, tension or energy. Depending on what helps, we use gentle movement, breathing practices, guided relaxation, mindfulness or simple body awareness exercises. No yoga experience is needed.
A session often starts with a conversation about something that has been weighing on you. We then take a moment to notice how your body responds and try a short movement or breathing practice. Afterwards we look at what you noticed and what could help you in a similar situation.
Where useful, you take a short practice or a small action home, and we look at how it went the next time. Over time you learn to notice your signals earlier and build a set of tools you can use in daily life.
