Yoga Therapy · Philosophy · Meditation

You have been
coping for
far too long.

I work with creative professionals, entrepreneurs and high-achievers who feel things a little more than most — and who have been quietly getting on with it while anxious, overwhelmed and tired in a way sleep doesn't fix. That kind of tired doesn't pass on its own.

The Practice

01

One-to-One Yoga Therapy

We work privately, at the pace your body decides. Breath, movement, rest and honest conversation — arranged around your week as it actually is, not the one you keep meaning to have.

02

Yoga Philosophy in Practice

The old texts, read as something practical. They're good on attention, on the loops your mind runs, on the stories we mistake for facts. We take them slowly and see where they land with the decisions you make on a Tuesday.

03

Meditation & Stillness

First we make sitting still bearable. Then we make it worth doing. We start with what you can hold today, which is usually less than you think and enough.

What Waiting Costs

Anxiety doesn't stay in its lane. It reaches everything you care about.

It starts small — a tight chest, sudden bursts of anger, waking at four. Then it's your sleep, your patience, your inspiration, your relationships and your headspace; most of us wait until it's too late.

This work is slow, but it isn't passive. We move at the speed your nervous system allows and build something small enough that you'll actually keep it — not another routine to fall behind on.

Why This Work

I've been on the inside of this.

I'm an Integrative Yoga Therapist and Wellbeing Coach, based in Goa. My approach is grounded — it takes the body and the mind equally seriously, and it's built around you, not a method. You arrive with your own history, your own way of carrying things, and the work has to fit that, not the other way round.

I didn't start here. I worked in the fashion industry for close to a decade, and for years the thing standing in my way was my own mind — the same negative thoughts on repeat that turned into chronic rumination, with days harder than there was any reason for. I could see what I was capable of and couldn't get near it.

Practice shifted that. Not fast, and not by pushing harder. My training has been long and unhurried.

The Wider Work

Knower & Field

Coming soon

Knower & Field is the home I've built for this work beyond the one-to-one room: courses, a membership and a steady place to keep practising with other people who are after the same thing. A whole ecosystem for cultivating calm within.

Some people start privately with me and continue there. Others begin inside Knower & Field and come to sessions later. Either way round works.

Working with Teams

Bringing this work
into your organisation.

Some of the people who need this work aren't looking for it on their own — they're inside teams that are quietly running on empty. Creative studios and organisations where the work is demanding, and the people doing it are carrying more than they let on. If that's the culture you're building, we can shape something around it: not a wellness perk, but a real practice.

I work with brands and organisations whose work I genuinely respect — the ones leading with care, not just talking about it. Together we build sessions and programmes that fit how your people actually work: unhurried, grounded, and honest about what they're experiencing.

  • Private sessions for individuals or small groups within your organisation
  • Workshops on breath, attention and managing the mind under pressure
  • An ongoing practice thread your people can return to between sessions

If your organisation shares this sensibility and you'd like to explore it together, tell me a little about what you're after.

Get in Touch

The right time was earlier. The next best one is now.

You don't have to keep doing this alone. Tell me where you are and what's feeling difficult — a few honest lines will do. I read every message myself, and if this is the right fit, we'll find a way in.
