Baby massage
Developmental Baby Massage is a unique form of baby massage that combines massage and movement to encourage and support babies through the natural steps and stages of their development. It offers a wide range of benefits to both babies and parents.
Mummy & baby yoga
Post natal mummy and baby yoga helps you to build confidence to cope with the demands of motherhood and time to nurture yourself, find some time for relaxation, play freely with song and movement to bond with your baby. An opportunity to meet with other mothers and babies also. This is suitable from 6 weeks after birth, until babies are crawling.
Hypnobirthing
Hypnobirthing is a complete birth education program incorporating a positive method of self hypnosis, using relaxation, and breathing and visualisation techniques to allow for a more effective natural, shorter, pain free birthing experience.

This allows the mother, father/partner and baby to experience birth in an atmosphere of calm relaxation and greater comfort.

About me
Inspired through philosophy, I have been an aspiring yogini as far as I can remember.
Acquiring an understanding and awareness of the Yamas and Niyamas, from an early age, continues to guide my journey. Having qualified as a Yoga Instructor at SYASA University, in India, I started teaching voluntarily at various community groups. I continue to expand my skill set and am a qualified Yoga Therapist. I trained with the Yoga Biomedical Trust and Yogacampus, in London. I work one-to-one alongside clients with particular medical concerns, including asthma, hypertension, diabetes, digestive disorders, menstrual problems, musculoskeletal tensions, stress and anxiety. Having trained with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, I teach yoga for pregnancy and also hypnobirthing through the Hypnobirthing centre, I trained with Peter Walker to teach baby massage and I also teach post natal mummy and baby yoga.
I am currently a member of the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council, which is supported by the Department of Health. I have also qualified as a Health Trainer and hope to continue to support and raise health awareness and well-being, within the local communities and on a one-to-one basis.
Assisting in the management of an internationally renowned yoga and wellbeing centre, in the heart of London, is what I do during the day. Here I also gain valuable insight from some of the leading yoga teachers in the UK. I occasionally contribute to a community magazine writing articles about yoga philosophy.
