My main motivation has always been learning, transforming, growing and changing to get more out of life: more fun, more wisdom, deeper experiences, more satisfying relationships. In the past I used to work very hard at self-improvement, believing that the harder I pushed the more successful I would be, and the better person I would become. But I couldn’t have been more wrong. By pushing harder I only succeeded in increasing tension in my body and mind, which had precisely the opposite effect to what I desired. I became tight, anxious, impatient, and very, very tired…
It was through yoga, dance, and other mind and movement practices that I learned a different approach to transformation. Gradually, I learned that change doesn’t have to be hard work – it can be gentle, sweet and easy! I’ve become fascinated by nutrition, movement and mind training.

I am constantly amazed by how our bodies respond to the fuel we put in them, the way we move and the power of our thoughts. You really can change your life on every single level through simple practices of nourishing yourself with food, movement, mindfulness and self-care practices. I like to think of this as the feminine way, which is deep and nourishing and involves changing, softly, from the inside out.
