Get to know me...
I am of the earth and in harmony with nature
Hi, I am Lisa.
Yoga has been in my life since childhood, my mum praticised for years and I dipped in and out of it from my teens.
I was called to yoga as a regular practise when my life was in chaos, I was burning out from my job and partying every weekend.
Yoga, embodiment and shamanic practices have helped me heal my nervous system and learn to feel again, at a time when I was so disconnected from my body and my senses. I am eternally grateful for gifts they continue to give me and to now share these with others.
As I began to walk a path of healing myself, I trained in reiki and massage for self healing and later to give to others.
Growing up in rural Northamptonshire, I feel most at home when I am out in nature connected to the earth and the trees. I love to dance, wild swim and most recently write poetry. I am also a fan of anything that ignites my inner child :).
All of what I offer draws upon the ancient wisdom of Yoga, embodiment and shamanic practices for the modern day, connecting you back to your true nature through self enquiry.
These practices are not about what you know or what you can do, they are about what you can feel. Your inner felt sense is the guide for everything in life.
As we explore together we will work towards finding balance and acceptance in your inner world so your life can be lived with presence, love, connection, resilience, peace and joy.
Fusing all of my teachings in somatic, tantra, functional yoga, Japanese and Chinese energy and massage work I will lovingly guide you to your feeling awareness.
Helping you get back in touch with your true nature and realise everything you need to be centred, healthy and at peace is within you.
