About Me
Yoga and Reiki aren’t just practices for me—they’ve been my anchors through every major life transition. From pregnancy and childbirth to peri-menopause and beyond, these healing modalities have guided me, shaped me, and helped me become the person I am today. And I’ve seen them do the same for countless women, offering strength, clarity, and deep transformation. That’s why I created GetCalmer—to share these powerful tools and help women navigate their own journeys with more ease, balance, and empowerment.
Back in 2001, after years in the high-pressure world of corporate sales, I felt completely disconnected—from myself, my body, and what truly mattered. Discovering Reiki and yoga changed everything. Their profound healing power led me to walk away from the corporate world and dedicate myself fully to supporting women’s well-being.
My journey from sales to spiritual healing wasn’t an overnight shift. After experiencing the life-changing effects of Reiki firsthand, I immersed myself in mastering this beautiful healing art, eventually becoming a Reiki Master Teacher. Now, I not only offer deeply restorative Reiki healing sessions but also teach women how to harness this powerful energy for themselves.
In 2006, I deepened my practice by completing my Sivananda Yoga Teacher Training, later learning from world-renowned teachers like Claire Missingham, Kathryn Budig, and Jason Crandell. But it was Dr. Françoise Freedman of Birthlight who truly inspired me to dedicate my work to women’s health. Through my own experiences of motherhood, peri-menopause, and life’s many shifts, I’ve developed a unique approach that blends the grounding wisdom of yoga with the nurturing energy of Reiki.
What kind of teacher am I? Well, don’t expect complicated jargon or impossible poses! I keep things real—intuitive, inclusive, and accessible. My classes and Reiki sessions are about more than just movement or energy work; they’re about creating sacred spaces where women can reconnect with their inner wisdom, build lasting confidence, and discover powerful tools for self-healing. Nothing brings me more joy than witnessing the transformations that unfold when women step into their full potential.
When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me at home in Oxfordshire with my incredibly supportive husband and our two wonderful daughters—who, like me, embrace the power of self-care (and never say no to a good massage!). My spiritual side isn’t just something I practice; it’s woven into my everyday life, whether through mindful rituals, oracle/tarot cards, time in nature, or simply being present with my family.
If you’re ready to begin your own journey of transformation—whether through Reiki, yoga, or both—I’d love to support you. All you need is an open mind and a willingness to explore your potential. Let’s take that first step together.
