Biography
I am a yoga and meditation teacher. I am currently teaching a few classes a week at a studio in Mullumbimby as well as privates. I run retreats in India, sharing the yogic teachings with women from Australia. I am currently in my final year studying Body Psychotherapy, later this year I can begin as a student therapist. I am passionate about mental health and wellbeing and have dedicated the last 10 years studying with many teachers around the world. I am inspired to weave and integrate the teachings of yoga with therapy for healing. I currently work at a psychology clinic in Brisbane called Modern Minds seeing clients privately where I teach self regulating skills and techniques (breath, meditation) & knowledge on the nervous system and mental health through the yogic perspective. I am a support worker and have been with Byron Respite- for about 2 years. I currently have a private age care client I also support on a weekly basis. I am Australian, 28 years old and originally from Sydneys Northern Beaches. I love spending time in nature, bush walking, surfing, practicing yoga, sitting tea ceremony, singing & playing music and gardening.
Why I'm a great fit for Empower Kollective
I am very passionate about mental health and wellbeing. My journey into healing began as a teenager with a chronic illness, struggling with my own mental health and deep in grief after a family member took her own life. This is the moment I found yoga and began my own journey of healing, inspiring my passion to learn about holistic health and wellbeing. I consider myself to be a grounded and calm person and aspire to create a safe container for clients to feel they can rest and be comfortable in my presence. I feel I am a sensitive and compassionate person that is in touch with their intuition, qualities I feel important when working within mental health. My time working for Byron respite has given me a lot of fulfilment and purpose. I find this work very rewarding and I would love to continue. It has taught me a lot and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn and gain more experience working with a variety of clients with different conditions. I am applying for a support worker role, however also open and interested in potentially an admin role! I havemany years also in customer service and would enjoy expanding into a different work opportunity within the framework of the business. thankyou 🙂
