I have been working in the field of adult and adolescent mental health, body image and eating disorders for over 11 years at the Priory Hospital, Roehampton, as well as in private practice. Initially I trained as a contemporary dancer where my special interest in how a person constructs and experiences their unique body image began. Drawing from my personal and professional experience, I understand how feeling unhappy with parts of our bodies can limit our experience of ourselves and of life around us. Creating a healthy relationship with your body is fundamental to living a healthy life, and I am passionate in supporting girls and women to reach for greater body acceptance and to embrace their self-worth.

Having worked in the NHS and for the last 7 years as a therapist and clinical lead in a charity supporting children and their families, low self-worth and a lack of self-love were common themes for the young people, their parents or carers I came into contact with. In my personal and professional life I have witnessed and experienced the damage of these crippling self beliefs and I am working towards changing it. Through training as a yoga teacher and practising Movement Medicine, I have gained greater embodiment and alignment which I believe is fundamental for living a connected existence and engaging fully with life.
