I came to yoga in my late 20’s having had to cope with recurring fractures and broken bones due to Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia, a rare soft bone condition which I was born with. I later trained as a yoga teacher and have continued my development with further training in yoga for menopause and a special interest in core rehabilitation. I have taught yoga classes at Viva Gym (Buckingham), GWD Performance Gym (Bedford), Energie Fitness Gym (Milton Keynes), Stowe Studio (Buckingham), Urban Om Yoga & Pilates Studio (Buckingham), and teach yoga to musicians at the Royal Academy of Music and have taught yoga workshops at Trinity Laban and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

​

​​​​​​​​​​​As a pelvic health coach, I work one to one with clients to improve and rehabilitate pelvic health, maintaining or improving pelvic floor function, reducing prolapse symptoms and improving core strength. My experience includes specialist core rehab for musicians postpartum and perimenopause, and with clients improving lower back, hip and pelvic pain, reflux, hypermobility spectrum, pressure management, pelvic floor, continence, bladder and bowel function, and prolapse symptoms. Sessions include breathing techniques, core exercises, hypopressives, postural alignment, stretching, relaxation and kegel exercises.

 

I began in 2019, teaching an online Pelvic Health Discovery Course encouraging women to talk more openly about pelvic health symptoms and supporting education of pelvic anatomy and physiology. I then taught Yoga for Women’s Health (Stowe Studio Buckingham) and Yoga for Pelvic Health (online classes).

 

I use my training of breathing as a professional flute player combined with my experience as a yoga teacher, informed by my knowledge of anatomy and physiology, and rehabilitation principles as a physiotherapist. I practice as a yoga teacher and core trainer (not a physiotherapist) and work with clients with an existing GP or women’s health physiotherapist diagnosis to support their rehabilitation. 

​

The many benefits of working on your pelvic floor include improvements in continence, postural stability, reduced hip/pelvic/back pain and better movement because your central stability system is working well. ​​Long term pelvic health is about integrating the whole body physically and mentally, to retrain the pelvic floor to support and enable you to achieve your activity goals whatever they may be.

​

​​​Many women experience pelvic health changes after pregnancy, childbirth, the years that follow or during peri menopause / menopause. ​​​These issues are not an inevitable part of motherhood, the menopause or getting older.  Most pelvic health symptoms can be managed or improved with support and information.
