A little more about me...
My journey into the wellness industry began in 2003 when I graduated with a Business Science Marketing degree. During that time I also trained to become an Integral Hatha Yoga teacher, a path that would shape my future in remarkable ways. Alongside my mom, we opened a beautiful yoga studio in the leafy suburb of Tokai, Cape Town, not expecting much interest at the time. To our surprise, the studio thrived, becoming a sanctuary for many.
In 2008, driven by a desire to inspire and uplift the yoga community, I founded Yoga Awakening Africa, a magazine brand that has now transitioned into a community blog where I share my journey wellness education and journey with others. This platform connects and supports yoga teachers, sharing stories and resources to foster growth and inspiration.
In 2014, I joined forces with Yoga Therapists and Ayurvedic Practitioners to form the Academy of Yoga and Ayurveda, an Integral Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Course in South Africa.
Over the years, my love for learning and growth led me to invest in new courses and workshops, each one expanding my toolkit and deepening my understanding of yoga and well-being. Despite these valuable experiences, I often felt there was something more I needed to become a better teacher and improve my own health. It wasn’t until I enrolled in a two-year Yoga Health Coaching program that I realised the key was within me all along—I just needed help with implementation of all the tools and skills I had learnt over the years.
Today, my annual coaching membership program embodies all the lessons I've learned. It's designed to enable you to take control of your health and wellbeing.
I look forward to meeting you in one of my courses.
