I am first and foremost a yoga teacher. I have recently qualified as a Counselling Practitioner, specialising in grieving, trauma and loss. Having lost my father at a young age. I have learnt that trauma and grief are not something to be fixed.

Paula is a brilliant yoga and fitness teacher. I couldn't recommend her more highly. I've really loved her classes and she makes us feel empowered and motivated but also at ease and comfortable. She's fun, kind and caring. Her online classes were such a lifeline during lockdown and beyond. More...

What inspired you to start your own business?
I became a PT, Yoga and Pilates teacher when one of my best friends was diagnosed with cancer. I realised that life is very short and we need to do what makes us happy.
Why should our clients choose you?
All of my training has come from my own experiences in life. Having 4 children. I learnt how important it is for them to have tools which help them become calm and confident. My Cancer training was for my friend and mother. Menopausal yoga was for me. As was training to be a somatic grief therapist.

Somatic Grief Therapy
‘Somatic’ means held in the body.
After losing my father at a young age, with no one there to guide me with my grief. I have learnt that grief is still a taboo.
I trained as a somatic grief therapist over 3 years ago. I now run Mindful Grieving Community Programmes. Which is a 6 week course held either face to face or online. I also run
1-2-1 Somatic Grief Therapy face to face at my studio or online.
The therapy is there so that you to can tend to your grief with love and kindness, allowing you to release the constriction held in the body.
We talk about tools that will enable you to integrate your grief into your life.
