... has
been teaching yoga, meditation and spiritual development to adults and
children since the early 1980s. She has studied widely under leading
teachers in the UK, America and India, following the path of kundalini yoga, meditation and energy work.
She owes everything to these enlightened teachers and it is their
grace which has enabled her to develop her spiritual path. These include
the Gurus of the Siddha Yoga Meditation lineage, Lama Gangchen the
Tibetan Healing Lama, and Swami Anubhavananda, Vedanta Acharya. She describes herself as an "urban
mystic" who brings to her classes a practical wisdom which combines
her spiritual path with her everyday roles as mother, healer/therapist
and community worker. She has
worked as counsellor, complementary therapist,
healer, teacher of healing, space clearer, working with all kinds of
clients, incl. abuse victims, the dying and their families, kundalini awakening, supporting through spiritual and
personal crisis.

“What is the
deepest wish in our hearts? Within all our lives?
It’s FREEDOM …
The freedom of
love, light and peace within ourselves. The freedom to BE HAPPY!
The energies you receive
work on all levels of being to support you on your path.
They can help you through
stress, major life changes and blocks on your path - so that you can
find your balance again – and ultimately, the secret freedom of blissful
being.
My focus is to
help you to unfold this freedom within through energy work, spiritual
development and Self-awareness.
To reconnect
you with your INNER JOY.”
