I work across yoga and community work, with a particular interest in how people, places, services and communities can support health and wellbeing through change. I’m fully insured, DBS-checked and have completed safeguarding training.
With a background across research and writing, housing, and planning community infrastructure and services, I’ve always been interested in people, place and change. But it was my step-mum Carol’s experiences in later life, together with my own experience of Pregnancy Associated Osteoporosis after becoming a mum, which made those interests more personal.
Alongside yoga, I work with people, organisations and communities on projects around health, home, community and change.
This is work I love to do. It’s about making change feel possible, supporting health and wellbeing and helping people, organisations and communities make practical progress.
Working with community organisations
I can support community organisations in and around Surrey and Kingston in three main ways:
Direct community delivery
Yoga, wellbeing sessions, workshops and activities for adults, children and particular groups.
Personal and practical support
Practical support for people navigating life, home and housing changes.
Project initiation and delivery
Helping organisations and communities understand local needs and opportunities, build partnerships, gather insight, and get new projects and change off the ground.
I’m also available to public sector clients through the RedQuadrant consultancy network for strategic place, prevention and services work.
Research
I’m keen to explore these issues more deeply, particularly how people can be better supported to make their own decisions through significant changes in later life, and how home, health, governance, services and community relate to these changes.
I’ve applied for a Human Geography PhD with Royal Holloway, University of London, with the aim of developing this research from January or September 2027 alongside this wider work, depending on funding. Read my research proposal here.
