My background is in the creative and participatory arts - movement, theatre, puppetry.

After my degree in Anthropology and English at Jesus College, Cambridge, I trained in Community Dance at the Laban Centre, London then Circus Theatre at Fool-Time, Bristol. I went on to devise a series of street theatre and cabaret shows that fused dance, stilts and puppetry and toured internationally.

I taught in Higher Education for many years, specialising in movement, improvisation and children's creativity. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

My work with children celebrates and nurtures their imaginations, their happiness, and their sense of connection with each other.

In my early 20’s I stayed at a Buddhist monastery and since then I have found meditation and Buddhist psychology to be enriching, healing and profoundly supportive.

A few years ago I decided to train as a mindfulness teacher.  In the courses that I have run I have been deeply moved by the power and potency of the work to help people lead kinder, happier lives, and its ability to reveal and nourish the wisdom that is in us all.

I interweave my experience as a teacher of movement and as a storyteller to the sessions I run, as I want to teach these invaluable ideas in a way that is accessible, embodied, engaging.
