I am a member of Association of Naturopathic Practitioners (ANP), Complementary Therapy Association (CThA), and Yoga Alliance (E-RYT 200). I am registered with General Naturopathic Council and Complementary and Natural Health Care Council (CNHC). I also hold a DBS enhanced registration.
In 2020 I was awarded the Cambridge Prestige Awards 2020 for the Best Health and Wellness Practice of the Year, in recognition of all dedication and care given to clients.
My Journey to Vita Shakti...
My journey to self discovery and healing has led me to study and explore many integrative fields of healthy sciences, from West to East, merging the ancient wisdom with the wonderful technology and research we have achieved in modern medicine.
During my years of clinical practice and training I have developed an interest on how mind can be our best friend for healing and health and how it can also be our worse enemy…
As a woman, I have struggled to understand and to adapt to my own hormonal changes and how those ups and downs affected my mind, which in turn affected my body and my health and even my ability to conceive a child...
After years of being infertile, moody, I came to experience the healing powers of healthy diet, yoga and Ayurveda and how a simple change of breath and awareness could transform my entire being……
When I finally conceived a child I came to experience the blessings and challenges of motherhood; through the blessings and teachings of my teachers I was able to apply their wisdom to the situations faced and I have learnt to transform challenges into opportunities of growth and self-development.
Learning and change is always a constant in life, and to adapt to the flow of life I am always open to learn and to listen; whether is to my personal or professional development (they go hand in hand).
Throughout my journey the most valuable lesson I have experienced is to pause and listen to your inner light. But equally important is to nurture and care for yourself. But none of those realisations would be possible if I had not served others with all my heart.
My passion is to serve and help others so that they can achieve holistic health and wellbeing (Mind-Body-Consciousness) as I did and I am still doing it...it is a daily and ongoing practise.
I feel blessed to serve and guide others in their own self discovery, healing journey, and to support my patients to achieve optimum health and wellbeing.
