About

Hi, I’m Karen – welcome.

I offer slow, mindful yoga that supports you to reconnect with yourself in a gentle, grounding way. My work weaves together Restorative Yoga, Trauma-Sensitive Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and Meditation. I also offer Reiki energy healing sessions for those who are drawn to that form of support.

The heart of my approach is creating a space where you can feel safe, respected, and supported—just as you are.

Many of the people I work with are navigating stress, trauma, anxiety, or mental health challenges, and are looking for something that meets them gently and compassionately. Whether you’re coming to a one-on-one session or joining a small group, I aim to offer a space that feels steady, welcoming, and empowering.

My own yoga practice helps me stay grounded, present, and connected—and I am grateful to be able to share these practices with others. I’ve been teaching yoga since 2011 and continue to deepen my learning through ongoing study in yoga, anatomy, trauma-informed practice, energy work, and meditation.

I’m a certified Trauma-Sensitive Yoga facilitator, and have completed further training in yoga for trauma, mental health, and body image, as well as mindfulness-based stillness meditation. I’ve also trained in Restorative Yoga, pre- and postnatal yoga, and Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga. I’m a Level 2 registered teacher with Yoga Australia and a Reiki practitioner (Level II).

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of learning from many inspiring teachers, including Lizzie Lasater, Judith Hanson Lasater, Mary Richards, Donna Farhi, Belinda Davidson, Ana Davis, Kristen Pringle, Paul Bedson, and Chandrika Gibson.

I believe in the power of slowing down, of listening deeply to the body, and of creating space for healing to unfold in its own time.

If you’re curious about working together, I’d love to hear from you.

Warmly,
Karen

“Your yoga classes feel like the only 60 minutes of peace that I get each week. The space in your home is always tranquil and welcoming with a lovely energy. I find your teaching and style to be perfect for me and wouldn’t change a single thing. I have been to quite a few yoga schools over the years and your classes have actually been the easiest place for me to escape from the world on to the mat and go inwards for an hour. I love that you let me be quiet and still and close my eyes. You don’t talk too much and your voice is so relaxing. I enjoy your music and your candles and the all important meditation. Thank you for your gift of stillness in a crazy world”

“Yoga has certainly made a difference to my body – I feel stronger and more flexible and generally more in touch with my body. My arms and my core muscles particularly feel stronger. Mentally/emotionally I feel the benefits during and after the class. I certainly enjoyed the walking meditation we did tonight.
When I was doing yoga 10 years ago, I thought the savasana was unnecessary as I was more interested in the ‘workout’. These days I love it and find my mind and body relaxing together and my body still feels activated by the class even though it is relaxing.”

“I enjoy the relaxing, welcoming, quiet, home-based space. It’s the next best thing to practising in my own home. I find it so much better than attending a yoga class at a gym. Your shavasana and guided relaxation is delicious! You really take the time to make sure everyone finds correct form, and even if I make a mistake I don’t feel silly in your classes. I feel stronger and better in the body, mind and spirit. Yoga is not only an opportunity to give me some ‘me time’ but I find I try to continue to connect these feelings into everyday life. It really made me analyse my situation and place in life (i.e. my work-life balance) and helped me to realise that I wasn’t in a healthy place and needed to make big changes. I love your classes and feel they totally work for me!”
