Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, IndiaAbout your organizer
I am a 500 hr EYT and a shiatsu therapist. I grew up in East London, UK and the closest I got to nature was a picnic at the local park. That changed when I ditched my Burberry for a backpack and followed the calling of my soul. These days I love to be barefoot beneath an African sky or twirling in the Gujurati desert, in awe of earths wonder. I create transformative retreats and Teacher Trainings in off the beaten track locations. My inspiration and creativity come from a life fuelled by love, truth and courage.
