My Story
After graduating from one of the most renowned Institutions in the UK, a life with an unsustainable stress-cycle hit me right in the face.
After years of keeping up the pace of working ten-plus hours a day; draining my savings to keep it all going and juggling my career, my various jobs, my relationship and my own health, I was depleted. And even worse I was defeated. I was not having the impact I desired.
I wasn't being nourished by working this way, nor was I being sustained financially.
I believed if I just worked harder, I could make it all happen, and something would change. But it didnt.
I was bankrupt inside.
There is often a tipping point or a triggering moment that makes a woman say “NO MORE”. For me, ending in a hospital bed. I had suffered an asthma attack, a symptom I hadn't had since I was a child.
​
The Problem? Stress and Anxiety
My Reality? I was harming myself by how much pressure I was putting on my own body and how intense and critical I was being with myself.
​
I remember being there sat at the hospital bed thinking: “Not now, I have no time to waste, there is still so much I have to do this week”
​
Like a brick of self-honesty, it hit me. What the hell I was thinking about!
​
The day I chose a softer way of being, I realigned with my true purpose: to be a source of peace and liberation. That's when my Inner Guide whispered: “go for it!"
​
So, I trusted her and followed my heart to Rishikesh in India, where I became a yoga teacher.
