Personal Journey
Living with a health condition has been one of my greatest teachers. It taught me the value of taking ownership of my well-being and doing everything in my power to support my healing. Through the consistent practice of Yoga, I found not only a way to manage illness, but also a transformative approach to navigating the uncertainty and changes that came with it.
Yoga helped dissolve mental blocks, brought clarity, and realigned my body and mind toward healing. What took years of imbalance to develop began to shift in just a few months of dedicated practice. The results were undeniable and deeply empowering.
This experience inspired me to study Yoga and Yoga Therapy in depth. Today, as a certified Yoga Therapist, I’m passionate about sharing these tools with others, helping them reconnect with their own inner capacity to heal and thrive.
Approach to disease and well-being
As a certified Yoga Therapist, I have an in-depth knowledge of advanced Yoga therapy techniques including yogic counselling. I am skilled at effectively combining ancient principles of Yoga with practical methods validated by scientific research to provide an authentic protocol to enhance well-being.
My firsthand experience in recovering from / managing multiple sclerosis comes in handy while relating to challenges that come along with chronic health conditions. This combined with my background as an erstwhile corporate lawyer puts me in a unique position in understanding the demands of modern corporate life. In addition to addressing the symptoms, together we will also identify underlying root causes and treat them. Through sustained practice, you will be able to break existing harmful habit patterns and substitute them with positive, life affirming habits. This creates an ideal environment for healing.
