Yoga teacher, nervous system coach and former genetics researcher (yes, really).
I’ve always been obsessed with how things change. As a kid it was evolution – the idea that nothing is static, and transformation is always possible, whether it takes one chance event or a few million years.
That passion took me into science. I spent a decade in genetics research, with a BSc, Masters and half a PhD under my belt, studying how living things adapt.
Then in 2012, my own life stopped working. I was in a really hard place with my mental health, and I (very reluctantly) stepped onto a yoga mat. Something shifted. Not overnight, but enough to know I’d found something I needed to follow.
So I did. I trained as a yoga teacher and coach, left the lab, and spent the next seven years teaching full-time, including running my own yoga studio. I loved it…bur I also worked like it was going out of fashion. My days off were “days off” (inbox open, just not replying), and my worth was completely tangled up in what I did.
Burnout caught up with me properly during pregnancy and early motherhood. I was running on empty, trying to do everything and getting nowhere. Everything I thought I knew about rest and resilience got tested – and a lot of it had to be rebuilt from the ground up.
That rebuild became The Resilience Method.
Who I work with
People who are holding it all together on the outside and running on empty underneath. Maybe your mind won’t switch off, you feel flat where the joy used to be, or you’re always last on your own list. Perhaps you know exactly what you “should” be doing – you just can’t make yourself do it.
You’re not broken, lazy or bad at coping. Your nervous system is doing exactly what it learned to do.
That’s information. And it can change.
How I work
I bring a scientist’s curiosity to a very human kind of work. Everything starts with the body – nervous system regulation, somatic movement, breathwork and yoga – with coaching woven through, so the shifts truly stick in your real life.
You can work with me through:
Homecoming

COACHING
You were never meant to choose between your ambition and yourself.
Nervous system coaching for the wired, the stretched thin and the exhausted
If you’re holding it all together on the outside but running on fumes underneath, this is where that changes. Homecoming is 1:1 coaching built around your body and not just your mind, whatever your life looks like right now.
What we work on together:
- Calming a nervous system that’s forgotten how to come down
- Reconnecting your everyday life with what actually matters to you
- Growing your capacity, so the same life stops feeling like too much
