Hi, I'm Vicky.
I am passionate about yoga, meditation, aromatherapy and alternative therapies as a way of combating the stresses of modern life. Work/life balance is seriously out of kilter for most and through my own experiences I believe in using alternative therapies to restore the balance.
I qualified as a holistic massage therapist and aromatherapist in 2003 with ITEC and VTCT. I enjoy using essential oils in my daily life – from creating the perfect ambiance in my home to using essential oils to heal.
I completed a 500 hour yoga teacher training programme with the Inner Yoga Trust in 2018 which took 3 years to complete. I completed a 600 hour yoga therapy training programme with Real Yoga in 2024 which took an additional 3 years to complete. I have been teaching since January 2016 and have been practising yoga for many years. I teach, on average, 7 yoga classes a week and offer private yoga sessions on a 1:1 and up to 1:4 basis.

- Yoga4Health Teaching certificate – trained and qualified with the Yoga In Healthcare Alliance
- 600 hr Yoga Therapy Diploma – trained and qualified with Real Yoga
