My Journey

I created Wellness with Sally in 2017, following years of study, healing, and self-discovery. I’ve always been passionate about empowering others to live in better health - emotionally, physically, and spiritually. But that passion was born from my own struggles.

Growing up in London and later moving to the North, I spent many years feeling deeply disconnected from myself - disembodied, overwhelmed, and often unsure of my path. Despite a loving family and great opportunities, I wrestled with low mood, poor self-esteem, and unhealthy coping habits. On the outside, everything looked fine. On the inside, I felt lost.

Academia gave me a structure and a way forward. I studied Psychology at A-Level, then pursued a degree, a Master's, and eventually a Doctorate in Applied Educational Psychology. But despite all this, I still felt something was missing - a sense of inner peace and self-acceptance I saw in others but couldn’t find in myself.

In my early 20s, everything began to shift when I discovered yoga. What started as physical movement soon became a profound journey into embodiment, presence, and healing. It felt like a coming home. I realised that psychology and yoga - Western science and Eastern wisdom - didn’t need to be separate worlds. Together, they could create something powerful and transformative.

Bringing It All Together

In 2016, the same year I completed my doctorate, I trained as a yoga teacher in Thailand with Centered Yoga. Since then, I’ve completed extensive additional training in yoga, trauma-informed somatics, women’s health, and therapeutic movement (scroll down for the full list of credentials). I’m also trained to work with children and families, including those with SEND, and am a certified life coach.

Now based on the edge of the beautiful Peak District, I work with individuals, groups, and schools - offering trauma-informed, holistic support that blends psychology, embodiment, and intuitive guidance.
