For 23 years, I've had the privilege of teaching Scaravelli-inspired yoga through weekly classes in Bristol, workshops and retreats across the UK and Spain. I run online breathing courses and am a certified life coach, integrating coaching into group-work as well as one-to-one sessions. My yoga journey began in my late 20s, when scoliosis and a decade-long career as a theatre costume maker had left my body stiff and uncomfortable. Tension was making breathing difficult and my body longed for relief. I discovered Vanda Scaravelli's teachings and her transformative approach to yoga. Her book, Awakening The Spine (1991), continues to inspire worldwide. Initially, I felt I wasn’t ‘doing’ much in class, but my body responded with profound gratitude as tension began to dissolve. It was the start of an ongoing journey of unwinding and finding freedom. I have studied extensively with Vanda’s main students, learning how to bring ease, spaciousness and lightness into my body. This slow-paced approach encourages deep listening, releasing tension and refining movement. Poses are explored from within; connecting to the spine and fostering a natural, integrated way of moving, breathing and being. I feel honoured to share the legacy of this beautiful practice.

Amanda has been a movement educator for the last 40 years. She is a C-IAYT yoga therapist and runs regular teacher trainings.  Over the years she has moonlighted with somatic movement, dance and other modalities. She is currently shifting more deeply into a Hanna Somatic based practice and integrating her experience as a biodynamic Cranio Sacral therapist into her work. As a registered CI practitioner following a training with Dr Gabor Mate 5 years ago, she brings a psychological awareness to any space and an MA in Authorial Practice enables a creative and playful approach.

I believe deeply in our natural ability to heal and transform. My background is rooted in the arts and education, supporting people of all ages to navigate challenges and reconnect with their inner strength. These experiences have shaped my holistic approach, weaving together mind-body awareness, self-empowerment, and trauma-informed care. I’m a biodynamic craniosacral therapist, solution-focused brief therapist, firewalk instructor & empowerment coach. My work integrates relational practices with a deep respect for the body’s innate wisdom. In the spaces I hold, you are invited to slow down, feel safe, and reconnect with what is already within you. Guided by compassion, curiosity, and trust in the body’s intelligence, I support people through life’s transitions, encouraging growth, resilience, and the rediscovery of wholeness. I believe that just as a sunflower turns toward the sun, we too naturally orient toward health and vitality when given the right conditions to listen and respond.

I am a Cornwall-based psychotherapist, supervisor, and group facilitator and have had the privilege of working in the therapy field for over 20 years. I describe myself as a 'humanistic relational' therapist, which simply means that I believe everyone carries within them the wisdom and capacity to heal, grow, and move toward wholeness; and that as we are social beings at heart, the best conditions for this are within safe, trusting, loving relationships. I specialise in supporting people to prepare for, enter into and integrate their expanded state experiences. I have been called on to accompany people through death, birth, and a whole host of other sacred transitions. I have also supported people through tantric, plant medicine and breathwork journeys, and have recently begun to run regular community breathwork sessions with my beloved Aaron. We also co-host a monthly expanded states integration circle in Falmouth.  My work is grounded in creating an environment of warmth and safety in which people can explore their thoughts, emotions, and somatic experiences while being met with compassion and clear reflection. I cherish ritual, movement, and creative practices as powerful ways to give voice and embodiment to aspects of our experience that words alone cannot fully capture. These elements are woven into everything I offer.
