Welcome. My heart opened to creating Love Circles when supporting my children through their growth into adults, and experiencing the barriers and blocks in their understanding of relationships. Young people can discover and explore their innate relational wisdom when they engage in respectful and curious conversation with adults and peers. 

I am passionate about bringing life’s knowing to our young people, opening their hearts and minds to better ways of relating to themselves and others. I am studying a path of feminine awakening and healing, supported by my teacher and a group of profoundly dedicated women. I believe rich relationships require skill and practice and should be to everyone’s highest purpose. We should never stop learning how to love better. In Love Circles I do not teach, I guide and encourage participants to liberate the love within them, as they will do for me, knowing everyone has something to offer, even those who choose to remain silent.

It is my desire to build a community of Love Circle participants who can celebrate friendships and love as their lives expand. 

I have practiced yoga for my entire adult life. I commenced teaching yoga in 2007, then qualified as a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher in 2010, after a lengthy apprenticeship and assessment process. This journey encompassed all eight limbs of yoga. I have taught yoga for 15 years and worked in primary and high schools for 15 years. Love Circles will not practice yoga specifically, however the teachings are central to my life and will inadvertently form part of the Love Circles experience. Yoga asana, pranayama/breath, sadhana, philosophy, ritual, good nutrition and ayurvedic healing are integrated into my life. I weave these modalities into life and family through formal study, general reading and lifestyle. Moving my body is a daily blessing that offers me immense joy and peace.

I am blessed to have discovered the anchoring and expansive benefits of regular spiritual practice early in my life. 

I am currently employed in learning support at a large independent boys’ school in Sydney. I facilitate Love Circles under child safe standards, hold a current working with children check, first aid certificate (including CPR, anaphylaxis, asthma), and current police check.

I was born and raised in Sydney, and have travelled throughout India, Africa, China and Nepal. I have lived in the United Kingdom and currently reside with my family in the Blue Mountains.

Love Circles will be held in spaces that offer warmth, peace, and protection.
