About Me

Hi, I’m Kay. I live in Milton Keynes with my family and am a mother of two, an experience that continues to shape how I understand care, compassion, and the importance of tending to our own wellbeing.

 

I first found yoga in 2017 after experiencing a back injury caused by a disc bulge at L5/S1.

At the time, it taught me how disconnected I had become from my body. Yoga offered me a gentle way to slow down, begin listening again, and reconnect with myself at my own pace.

 

From the very first class, I felt something shift. Each time I stepped onto the mat I experienced a sense of curiosity and calm that I hadn’t felt in a long time. Wanting to understand more about the practice and its impact on both body and mind, I began training to become a yoga teacher.

 

In May 2022, I completed my 300-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training at Whitespace in Stony Stratford, accredited through Yoga Alliance.

 

My learning has continued to evolve since then. I am also a qualified trauma-informed restorative yoga teacher, Meditation and mindfulness teacher, and Reiki practitioner. Alongside this, I am currently stepping into ACCHP-accredited Somatic teaching and Coaching, deepening my understanding of how the body holds experience and how gentle, body-based approaches can support healing and personal growth.

 

My work is deeply informed by lived experience. Alongside my personal journey, I have spent over 22 years working in policing, a career that carries both great responsibility and exposure to high levels of stress and trauma. Through these experiences I have personally navigated periods of burnout, secondary trauma, compassion fatigue, and nervous system dysregulation, including states of hyperarousal and hypervigilance. These experiences helped me understand just how powerfully stress and trauma can live within the body and nervous system.

 

They also led me to explore practices that support regulation, safety, and reconnection with the body.

 

Through this journey, I have come to understand that many people, particularly caregivers, healthcare professionals, therapists, and those working in demanding or high-responsibility roles can experience similar patterns of overwhelm while supporting others.

 

The practices I offer are grounded in compassion, choice, and nervous system awareness.

My intention is to create a supportive and non-judgemental space where people can slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and explore what feels helpful for them.

 

Yoga can be a gentle and supportive way to reconnect with the body. By bringing together breath, movement, and mindful awareness, the practice can help encourage the body’s natural shift from a state of stress and vigilance into one of rest and restoration. Through slow, mindful movement, many people begin to notice a greater sense of ease, stability, and connection within themselves.

 

Meditation offers another way to support the mind and nervous system. Practicing presence and awareness can help create small moments of pause in our busy lives, allowing space to observe thoughts and emotions with greater kindness and curiosity.

 

Reiki is a complementary energy-based practice that many people find deeply relaxing and grounding. During a session, individuals are invited to rest while gentle energy work supports the body’s natural capacity for balance and healing.

 

Together, yoga, meditation, Reiki, and somatic approaches offer a holistic and compassionate way of supporting wellbeing. These practices can help people reconnect with themselves, build resilience, and find moments of calm and balance within the challenges of everyday life.

 

My hope is to offer a space where people feel safe, supported, and empowered to explore what healing and wellbeing look like for them
