About

Hi, I’m Kay! A working mum of 2 from Milton Keynes. I found yoga in 2017 after a back injury (disc bulge at L5 S1). 

 

My injury taught me that I had become so disconnected from my body and I found yoga to be a powerful tool to allow to slow down & reconnect with myself. 

The pull of yoga was pretty instant if I’m honest & I wanted to understand the magic that was unfolding every time I stepped onto my mat, this was the fuel for me becoming a yoga teacher. 

 

I qualified as a Hatha yoga teacher in May 2022 after completing a 300hr teaching qualification at Whitespace in stony Stratford through yoga alliance. 

 

I am also a qualified trauma informed restorative yoga teacher and have since gone on to qualify as a meditation & mindfulness teacher and offer Reiki. 

 

Yoga, meditation, and Reiki are powerful, holistic practices that have helped support me in healing a frazzled nervous system, these practices have helped provide relief from burnout, compassion fatigue, and secondary trauma. Issues which are especially common among caregivers, healthcare providers, therapists, and those in high-stress environments where supporting others can be both a privilege and a profound personal drain.

 

Practices I now like to share with others include: 

 

Yoga - a holistic practice that unites breath, movement, and mindfulness. Through gentle, mindful movement, yoga activates the parasympathetic nervous system, shifting the body away from “fight-or-flight” and into a state of rest and restoration. This shift is crucial for managing symptoms of burnout and trauma, helping individuals reconnect with their bodies, build resilience, and release pent-up stress held in the muscles and tissues.

 

Meditation, especially when practiced consistently, is another powerful tool for calming the mind and alleviating compassion fatigue. Meditation helps reduce anxiety and increases mental clarity by quieting the mind and enhancing self-awareness. By training the mind to stay present, individuals are better equipped to process stressors without being overwhelmed, preventing the depletion that often accompanies emotional labor.

 

Reiki, a form of energy healing, complements these practices by promoting deep relaxation and emotional balance. It addresses the subtle energy centers in the body, helping to remove blockages caused by prolonged stress or trauma. Reiki sessions are known for fostering a sense of safety, grounding, and inner peace, creating space for the body’s natural healing processes to take over.

 

Together, yoga, meditation, and Reiki form a compassionate and effective approach to healing the nervous system. They help individuals reconnect with themselves, manage the effects of stress, and nurture the resilience needed to continue serving others from a place of genuine compassion and strength.
