I’m a certified coach specialising in Ayurvedic psychology- trained at the Rosenberg Academy in Germany. I teach holistic, yogic, and Ayurvedic lifestyle medicine to transform mental and physical health, bringing harmony and meaning into life. For over two decades, I’ve offered retreats, mentoring programs, and consultancy services—supporting individuals in finding balance and fulfilment and guiding those who wish to create their own signature retreats rooted in-depth, care, and purpose.

My journey into this work began with a health crisis. After years in the fast-paced world of TV news production and a busy social life, I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and type 1 diabetes. What first felt like a collapse became a doorway. I was called to understand my illness and walk the path of healing.

That path led me to India, where I immersed myself in Yoga, Ayurveda, and Vedic psychology. I’ve since continued to study and explore nature-based traditions across Africa, South America, and Europe. Along the way, I trained in Relational Life Therapy with Terry Real, studied with Dr Gabriel Cousens in nutritional and detox therapies for autoimmune diseases, and deepened into mind-body wisdom.

Two things became clear: food is medicine, and the mind and body are never separate.

My core message is simple: when we live in rhythm with nature- eating seasonally, sleeping with the sun, moving gently, and tending to our inner life- we come back to balance. The nervous system settles. Hormones realign. Immunity strengthens. And meaning returns. In that stillness, we remember who we are, our purpose- our dharma.

For more than two decades I have led retreats, mentored individuals and developed holistic wellbeing programmes. Alongside this work, I offer consultancy for retreat leaders, wellness practitioners and organisations who wish to create meaningful, clinically informed retreat experiences. I support the design of signature retreats and wellbeing programmes rooted in Ayurvedic psychology, nervous system regulation and purposeful living- helping translate ancient wisdom into modern, transformative spaces for healing and growth.
