Meet Your Teacher & LT Founder
I am a Senior Yoga Teacher registered with Yoga Alliance Professionals and FEDANT. I have loved teaching yoga for years and I love how it works around being a mum and seeing my kids grow.
I am a Doula (since 2012) and have supported numerous people before, during and after childbirth.
I am an Antenatal Educator (since 2006) and as such all our Teacher Training content has been thoroughly assessed and accredited by FEDANT; the best mark of excellence in midwifery, antenatal education and doula work.
I have 20+ years professional experience in this field. As soon as I took my first yoga class in my early 20s I knew this was for me. It was a calling.
When I had my son in 2006 everything shifted. I became passionate about offering yoga and all its myriad of benefits to help mums-to-be and new mums. Because I love what I do, you’ll still find me teaching my own local classes here in the heart of Brighton’s North Laines.
In my time, I have worked with tens of thousands of women and their families, spoken at numerous conferences, lectured at midwifery events and sparked many discussions on making birth positive and empowering on social media and within my community.
It’s been my life-long passion and I would be delighted to share this with you on one of our trainings.
See you soon!
Love

Top 12 Things That Set Us Apart
PROVEN TRACK RECORD - Since 2007 we have taught thousands of pregnant women and new mums, all over the world who have loved our classes and community.
OUR ETHOS - We don’t believe in any one way to give birth; everything has a place and all birth is birth. Women (and birthing people) need to be supported to make their own best informed decisions; it is this that helps us feel positive about our birth experiences. This ethos fuels our language, how we hold space and teach. All the whilst we understand this is the most transformative time for mother and baby. By making this a positive and empowering experience gives a lasting benefit for both.
ALL ENCOMPASSING - Trainings are in-depth and immersive including traditional yoga (tailored for pre- and post-natal), NLP, mindfulness and hypno-birthing; active-birth, biomechanics for birth, antenatal education and 20+years of lived-experience working with thousands of mums and mums-to-be.
BECOME AN EXPERT - This is not a ‘cookie cutter’ approach. We teach you to respond to individual student’s specific needs and anatomy with confidence; how to listen, be intuitive and teach from the heart, ensuring every class is individualised to the people attending.
INCLUSIVE - Everyone is welcome to train; if you have no previous experience of yoga, pregnancy or birth or you are a practicing midwife, doula, yoga teacher or mum; you can apply.
