Embrace the difficult bits - greatness lies there
Creativity is what makes me tick. A passion since childhood, it’s central to my world. I’ve lived around the globe, from London to Boston to San Francisco, always working in design for top agencies and companies big and small. I've been a co-founder at a design start-up called Farmhouse Web, designed and created Beatnik Bags and most recently started my new venture, The Business of Wellness, helping wellness experts craft a digital brand and marketing strategy with authenticity and ease.
Practice and all is coming.
Yoga is my other great love! I’ve been practising for 25 years and in 2016, trained to teach (I hold a 500-hour EYT teaching certificate). I love the transformation, clarity and connection yoga can bring, especially off the mat. “Adapting yoga to suit the needs of every unique individual is where the true greatness of yoga lies” as TKV Desikachar once put it. When I bring yoga off the mat and into the world, I adapt the teachings to my audience so they can take away something that is relevant to them.
Be hip. Be square. Be you.
Launched in San Francisco, my first business, Beatnik Bags, neatly combined my love of yoga and design. Inspired by the radical self-expression of the Beat movement, my eco-friendly yoga bags and totes used recycled materials and jewels in striking, bright and beautiful designs – and won me awards for entrepreneurship too!
In 2008, I left San Francisco for the UK and not long after had a baby girl and wham!... overwhelming and unexpected post-natal depression hit me hard. But my creativity came to the rescue. Quite literally! By deciding to create everyday – anything, no matter how small – life slowly started to sparkle again. And now I’m on a mission to help YOU tap into your own life-changing creative potential!
The Business of Wellness is born.
After taking several yoga teacher trainings, I always finished them feeling a bit unprepared for the business side of yoga. So, I took my many years of design for big brands and small and quickly adapted my knowledge into an 8-week online course, called… you guessed it, The Business of Wellness. I created a course that I would have loved to have when I completed my training. Whether you aspire to open a studio, run retreats or teach online, this course helps you craft your social media marketing with clarity and authenticity.
