COMMUNITY

YOGA

At the heart of my practice lies the understanding that yoga goes beyond mere physicality. It is a sacred space for cultivating awareness, compassion, and resilience. Each session I offer is thoughtfully crafted to nourish the body, mind, and spirit, providing a welcoming atmosphere to reconnect with one’s true essence. Through a blend of breath-focused movement and mindful interaction, I create a supportive environment where participants can thrive and honour the profound power of yoga as a pathway to healing and authentic connection. Here, we celebrate the journey of self-discovery and the beauty of community, encouraging each individual to embrace their unique path with grace and openness.

MY ISLAND HOME

Koh Phangan, once home to fishermen and sea gypsies, later became a retreat for Thai royalty. In the 1980s, it gained global fame for its Full Moon Parties. Today, the island blends lively nightlife with yoga retreats and natural beauty, keeping much of its jungle and beaches untouched.

My studio home here, Soulscape House of Healing, is a hidden gem tucked away from the crowds and nestled in a lush jungle oasis. It’s a tranquil retreat originally created on the hazy dream of finding peace and renewal in a tropical paradise - and that’s exactly what we do!

I create transformational journeys grounded in experiential knowledge, ancient practice, and the intuitive wisdom within us all. My intention with Soulful Women’s Retreats is to help you live authentically, rest confidently in your truth, and discover deeper layers of your being. Since starting these retreats, I have witnessed the profound impact of gathering in this way, observing many participants gain clarity, find the courage to make significant life changes, and experience small shifts that continue to ripple out years later.

These transformations ignite my fire, and I am grateful to extend my offerings to more women each year. I now host three or more Soulful Women’s Retreats annually.

Together we rise!

ReWilding Retreats

There’s nothing quite like the thrill of the open road and the excitement of a boarding pass in hand!

I believe the magic you experience while traveling mirrors the magic within you. I’ve created these experiences with a sense of being in lesser-known, less-traveled places, offering a sense of awe and adventure away from the usual spots. These ReWilding experiences invite yoga students to shift from solo studio practices into transformative adventures in incredible destinations, all within a supportive community. These retreats take us down roads less traveled, offering unique and enriching experiences that welcome both men and women.

Over the years, my global community has grown, and with each retreat, the experience becomes more exhilarating and enriching than the last.

Join me in embracing the adventure and discover the thrill of these unforgettable retreats for yourself.

About Me

Finding balance in being.

My journey hasn’t been straightforward. When I discovered yoga in my early twenties in North London, I wasn’t looking to teach. I simply wanted to enjoy it for myself. At that time, I was grappling with anxiety and an eating disorder, and yoga became my unexpected sanctuary for healing. This transformative experience sparked a fierce passion for self-awareness and well-being, guiding me onto a path I never imagined.

That passion led me on a journey across India, Nepal, Cambodia, and Bali, ultimately bringing me to the peaceful island of Koh Phangan, Thailand. Here, I embraced yoga as my full-time calling, teaching and leading international retreats, and collaborating with renowned centres like Hariharalaya in Cambodia.

Six years ago, an early-stage breast cancer diagnosis propmted me into deeper realms of life, guiding me through profound shadow work and uncovering truer, more powerful aspects of myself. Confronting my most tender and vulnerable self required facing my greatest fears. This journey ultimately led me back to Australia, where I dedicated myself to exploring different layers of my being through rituals, ceremonies, unlearning, relearning, and countless hours of devoted practice and self-love. These experiences have become the foundation of my work.

You’ll find me at Soulscape House of Healing in Koh Phangan, where I offer regular classes both in-person and online, alongside women’s gatherings and mentorship for yoga teachers. My creative, breath-centred approach features grounding, dynamic, and playful sessions that invite us to explore the raw beauty of life while honouring our unique strengths. I focus on creating a nurturing and supportive space for everyone, and my ongoing study of Yoga Therapy enriches my practice, empowering me to help others connect with themselves with more compassion in meaningful ways.

I also lead immersive, transformative retreats, including Soulful Women’s Retreats and ReWilding experiences for both men and women, in stunning destinations such as India, Nepal, Bhutan, Australia, and Thailand. These journeys provide a space for individuals to reconnect with their true essence while exploring the world.

I dedicate my work to myself, to all my relations, and to you!
