My academic background is in economics, marketing, and consumer research. I have lived in the UK since 2014 and have done a MSc and completed a PhD at Henley Business School, the University of Reading in the UK.
My reflections and readings during my studies have highlighted for me the importance of the mind-body connection as well as emotional support, empathy and kindness, and the permission to feel our feelings. I have been a swimmer from my early childhood and movement has always been an important part of my life.
My mother has been my first yoga teacher and mentor. I have been a yoga practitioner for 8 years and I am a certified Yoga teacher. Yoga therapy, the mind-body connection, understanding and managing chronic pain and using yoga and its teaching and philosophy for physical, emotional, and psychological well-being are my passions.
