All my life I have felt different, out of place in this world, like I did not belong to my environment.  My ideas and beliefs about life, existence, wellbeing, health and medicine did not resonate with those around me.  I was the person who questioned the narrative, the outcast from “normal” collective, societal ways of thinking.  The mis-fit.

For years I suffered and struggled at my own hands from the decisions I made, the way I behaved and negative thought patterns of fear, low self-worth, shame, guilt and regret, causing me to suffer with chronic anxiety for much of my life.  I endured several medical interventions for illnesses, not knowing that there was a different way of doing, being and living.  A holistic way.  A natural way that incorporated mind and body.  I learned over time that we cannot heal without attention to all aspects of ourselves. Physical, emotional and mental health are all connected. 

On my journey I was always seeking something outside of myself.  I learned Reiki, then I discovered Yoga in a London gym as a physical practice of exercise. Yoga felt soft and relaxing, like coming home to my body and mind, and I recognised I needed more but did not know how to apply it off the mat in my life. I worked in the hard, unyielding, corporate world, and participated in ‘Westernised’ masculine styles of Yoga.  I was not yet fully connected to the concept that my outer world is simply a reflection of my inner world.  I looked at it with separation.  I had not yet re-established my connection to source energy, so I continued to move from one illness to another.

After a complete surrender to source (read that as a semi break-down) in 2019 I knew there needed to be significant change in my life.  I could not carry on this way anymore.  Early 2020 brought the pandemic and my way out.  A moment of clarity from source energy during meditation guided me to begin Yoga Teacher Training (YTT).  From this point everything started to make sense to me, all the pieces fitted into place.  I broke free of ‘Westernised’ physical aspects of Yoga to experience the deeper elements of my inner journey.

After my YTT, I trained myself in Ayurvedic principles, choosing healthier food options and learning to feel into my body, understanding what is right for me in any given moment. I learned that undigested and suppressed emotions had taken root in the weakest parts of my body so I worked to heal those emotions.

Holistic Self-Mastery and Connection to Source was my lifeline to a life living from my heart, which changed everything for me.  I further studied Yoga texts including Patanjali’s Classical System of Yoga, the 8 limbs and learned that Yoga isn’t just a pose, it is a lifestyle, with a set of social ethics and personal practices which I live by. 

From this understanding, I have broken free of chronic anxiety, illness and suffering and you can too.  Holistic Self-Mastery is at the forefront of everything I do and it’s my way to serve others by sharing the knowledge and wisdom of source energy via Retreats, Mentoring and Yoga.
