About Josie
I am a professional yoga therapist and yoga teacher. I am also a senior registered mental health nurse with over 20 years experience in the NHS. Through yoga I became intrigued and fascinated in the role of the body-mind in healing and health.
I combine my training and experience to offer a variety of talking and somatic therapies.
I have a compassionate and empowering approach, I am very down to earth and passionate about the field of mind-body therapy.
