from ‘hellraiser’ to ‘joy raiser’…
A multi-disciplinary wellbeing practitioner, yoga meditation teacher and yoga therapist. Blending life/work experience from entrepreneur to single mum with 20 years of studies in yoga and other modalities to help people from all walks of life release stress, and rediscover their joy.
Growing up I was the shy, anxious chubby kid at school, always feeling an outsider. From my ‘normal’ unusual family circumstances I sought solace in books and food. Loosing my dearly beloved formerly alcoholic dad at 13 shook my world and led me on a path of self destruction for many years.
At 21 SI took over my family's B&B, and had the vision to transform it into a boutique hotel with Michelin star restaurant. While raising a young family, which took its tool and after a mental health crisis I dove into years of training and studies into yoga and other modalities, to heal myself and now others.
Despite struggling to run a business I was inspired to open a second! and in 2016 I created an eco wellbeing escape, bhuti which occupied a premium 5000sq ft space in South West London. No longer occupying the space bhuti continues on through delivering its offering at what was the B & B and is now Bingham Riverhouse Members Club, hotel and restaurant
My Training
Life’s journey and seeing the suffering of those around me sent me on a path of seeking and learning committing countless hours over the last 15 years to studying spirituality, well-being philosophy, yoga and other modalities. I am greatly inspired by the works of Stephen Russell (the Barefoot Doctor), Deepak Chopra, Joe Dispenaza, Gabor Mate, Peter Levine, Bessel Van Der Kolk, Louise Hay, Caroline Myss, David Hamilton, Robert Holden, Rod Stryker and countless more. I am an eternal student.
