A little more about me and why I do what I do

I had to learn how to live and breathe wellness whilst keeping up with the intensity of being a performer, aerialist, model and yoga teacher.

When your body and health becomes your work, you can’t mess about
You need to deliver
You cannot hide
And the pressure is high

Commitment is non-negotiable
Self-Confidence is essential

A confident woman is in a position of authority and control over her own choices, cooly self-possessed.

Confidence is all about having a healthy relationship with yourself and your body. It’s a secret love affair with your ideal self.

I will share with you all I know about feeling and looking fabulous and live a life on your own terms. I will teach you how to cheat your way into wellness, without sacrificing your pleasure for life and food, so you can have the best of both worlds. 

Yes, I will help you lose weight, improve your eating habits, get lean and limber

THAT’S THE EASY PART!

But most importantly, I will help you become your very best friend, own your life, craft your future. Because will power NEVER LASTS – good habits LAST FOREVER. And “good habits” are what you need for a sustainable and balanced healthy lifestyle. Good habits of Self-Love and Self-Respect will give you the emotional and physical strength to feel confident about yourself 

I’ve lived long enough to know how important this is, as I almost lost my mental and physical health when I was trying to conform to what others were expecting from me: let them control me and give up my uniqueness to disappear into mediocrity.

I know how bad you want it, but you don’t know how.

Perhaps you have tried many ways but you have found yourself slipping back to the old ways.

And I know the reason for this too… Because there’s nothing that makes me happier than seeing you smile!

MY STORY SO FAR…

I used to love sports as a young girl, I trained as a gymnast and acrobat. I loved to dance and being creative.

But at some point we are forced to grow up and conform, make a life for ourselves, you know… have a career – whatever that means

I moved to London to escape an abusive relationship, two car accidents and one motorbike accident with my luggage filled with dreams. Not long later I found myself burnt out in a stressful and busy career as a designer in Soho, that almost destroyed my mental and physical health.

On a slippery slope of depression, loneliness and low self worth, that I masked by numbing myself with anything that could suppress that feeling. I was truly unhealthy and un-happy, sharing my days with unhappy people trapped in a soul less career driven path

A path far away from the values I’d always held sacred in my life. Self-Love, Loyalty, Integrity, Creativity, Freedom.

I didn’t know then that the toxicity of the life I was living, both physical and emotional, was affecting me in such way to make me feel empty, helpless and lost.

I felt that I had no control over my life and my choices, and just blindly resigning to a bleak routine of automated actions, convinced that there was nothing I could do that could change my reality, there was no way out.

I had managed to create a shield around my soft vulnerable sensitive being by surrounding myself with other toxic people I called friends and abusive relationships, to reinforce my self-hate cause for not being true to myself..

Then one day something happened, that changed my life completely (more of this another time…) I remembered how I felt when I was fit and healthy, creative and full of projects and aspirations… where did that girl go? What happened to her? I had let her down massively, and instead let someone else’s expectations carve me into someone I didn’t want to be and force me into a life I didn’t want to live. 

Suddenly it all made sense… nothing will change if nothing changes. And I would have to be that change.

That day I decided to take the reins of my life and honour my sacred power of choice.

I promised to myself I will always live life on my own terms.

I didn’t know yet what I wanted, but i knew exactly what I didn’t want. And that was more than enough for me.

I joined a gym. I stumbled into a yoga class, where I found myself crying my eyes out as I reconnected with my soul for the first time in years! And it felt amazing!

I decided to leave my old life behind (again!). I went to an Ashram and became a yoga teacher

On my return to London, I opened a yoga studio, years later I founded a Yoga Teacher Training School. This was some 20 years ago and I never looked back since.

During this time, my life radically changed.

I continued to explore the art of healing, fascinated by the way food, lifestyle and emotions affect our physical and psychological state, and vice-versa. I studied Cranio-Sacral Therapy and Naturopathic Nutrition.

I picked up my circus and aerial training and started performing again. Founded and opened Aerialand, an Aerial Arts Academy and Event Production https://aerialand.com/ 

And now I want to share all that I have learned with you!
