My Story
I Moved to Mount Maunagnui from the UK in 2008 with my kiwi born partner. We have two children Amber and Jacob. We also have a super chilled dog called Millie and friendly feline cat called Luna. We love living an outdoor lifestyle filled with adventure and tranquillity.
I qualified as an OT in the UK and when I moved to NZ I worked in mental health specialising in anxiety management and supporting people of all ages. During my time working with children at MICAMHS I facilitated the Friends Resilience Programme, an evidence based programme designed to support children’s mental health, self-confidence and resilience.
In 2018 I decided to move into private practice so I could find more life balance. I trained in mindfulness and incorporated the practice my work and personal practice which was a game changer. I wanted to offer a mindfulness based programme for children and this is when “Mindful Kids’ was created - A structured group programme that was inspired by the friends resilience programme but had a greater emphasis on mindfulness and breath work.
From there the business grew and I started providing holiday programmes and parenting support. In 2020 I decided to train as a yoga teacher and incorporate this into my business and in 2022 embodime was born.
A service that supports families and individuals to live a more fulfilled life.
