Why train with me?
​
-
As a mother, who delivered at home a breech baby, I can emphasise and meet the needs of those that desire to deliver a child into the least stressed environment possible.
-
As a midwife I am privileged to have assisted women to feel empowered whether they deliver in hospital via NVD or following a caesarian section. All births are incredible and all women are supported.
-
As a physiotherapist I specialise in creating movement programs that protect and strengthen women through both their reproductive years and later.
-
As university lecturer of anatomy physiology, pathophysiology and health for many years, I love to help other people in their journey to understanding the complexities of the human experience.
-
As a yoga practitioner since 1980 I have lived and breathed conscious yoga practice.
-
