“I am not very good at taking time for myself and so having yoga therapy sessions has allowed me to do that. I particularly liked that Zoë worked with me as a whole, looking not only at the physical level but also the emotional. I learned techniques to try and help me manage pain, learning a new way of thinking about pain. This has been enormously helpful. I also find that I am doing everyday things in a more mindful way – I am present in the moment… Yoga has brought me a level of inner peace – things that used to bother me I can now put into perspective just by using visualisation, relaxation and meditation techniques. Zoë was very good at listening to me in terms of my limitations and was able to adapt my practice so I could still manage the physical aspects of restorative yoga. I feel the programme has been immensely beneficial to my overall wellbeing,”

“I was a little concerned about having yoga therapy at first but Zoë soon put me at ease. Zoe is a lovely person who explained the sessions and gave me practice notes to follow until the next session. She helped me to relax and advised on my breathing. I look forward to each session with her,”

“I was diagnosed with depression over six years ago and thought I had it under control but unfortunately had a relapse. When I experienced a relapse in my illness I took up the opportunity of yoga therapy sessions with Zoë. I have not experienced this type of therapy before and the combination of talking and yoga practice brought me great benefit. She tailored the sessions to my individual needs and I have learnt which practices bring me the most benefit. Zoë has a rare natural talent, an understanding nature, and has truly found her calling,”

“Zoë displays the utmost professionalism in all of her yoga work. Her knowledge has depth and experience. The experience of yoga therapy with Zoë is on a very personal level, you feel that each session is carefully considered and tailored specifically for your needs to encompass all you have asked for. Her approach is calm, patient, understanding and compassionate. You feel very safe in her care both the yoga practice and in her confidentiality. Time is never rushed, the therapy sessions feel full, complete, well thought through and designed with a natural flow, utilising a wide range of yoga therapy approaches – poses, breathing, meditation and relaxation. Zoë has a beautiful natural warmth and I would recommend her to anyone; she has a natural ability and knowledge to help clients including the most vulnerable,”

“For me yoga therapy sessions with Zoë have had a deep and reflective impact. They have helped me to transition through a prolonged period of distressing bereavement, and I cannot express sufficiently how much the yoga has helped through this time. I can’t emphasise enough the impact of the meditation and relaxation therapy sessions – I have become one with myself again, reconnecting the physical, emotional and spiritual me. I have become more realistic in my day to day goals, allowed more relaxation into my week and overall have more joy in my life. Zoë has the special interpersonal skills to talk through distressing and personal aspects of life without judgement and to find yoga practices that help. It has been a powerful journey for me and one which I’d like to continue with Zoë. Thank you so much,”

“I found yoga therapy sessions with Zoë incredibly informative and helpful. Breathing exercises and meditation prior to sleep were very helpful, as were chest opening practices which I believe have helped my asthma symptoms. Zoë was incredibly patient and very helpful,”

“Zoë approached each session with a detailed and varied programme which put the emphasis very much on my individual needs. She improved my balance, which was one of the more serious issues following my stroke. The sessions were challenging but after a few the tasks got easier through increased concentration and focus. Yoga is new to me and I found it very stimulating and rewarding. Zoë is very patient and encouraging and I can say I really benefited and enjoyed sessions with her,”
