I absolutely love what I do and seeing people transform and regain their glow and heal is such a wonderful privilege to witness. I am dedicated to making my practice as inclusive as possible because that’s where my heart is. I feel the healing power of Ayurveda is of great benefit not just to individuals but to humanity. The treatments work on the physical body and also the energy field to help clear trauma and trapped energy.
I became an LGBTQIA+ ally at University in the nineties. As someone who is half-Indian there were times when I felt that I didn’t fit in anywhere. When you experience racism from both sides you think deeply about why these labels placed upon loving beings even matter. I have always felt accepted, understood and loved within the LGBTQIA+ spaces. Seeing my best friends from University come out to their families and talking to them about their experiences of bullying at school gave me a real insight into how painful and unjust homophobia is, as well as a sense of being seen, of solidarity and mutual uplifting, enriching, love, respect, care and support.
Before I started investigating the doshas 🙂 in my previous career I was an investigative journalist and I spent six months making a film about transgender rights. It was a real eye-opener into some of the awful things that transgender people experience. It was also a real delight to spend time being educated by some incredibly clever, insightful and talented trans people. The bravery to be yourself in a society trying to condition and control people takes real strength, heart and courage. I met many beautiful beings who still really inspire me.
Ayurveda is about finding your authentic self, your inner light and letting it shine. It’s about understanding and celebrating your unique constitution and discovering who you are buried under layers of conditioning and letting go of that which is no longer serves you. It teaches you how to love and nurture yourself and creates powerful transformations. People become self-actualised when mind, body and spirit aligns and its is so beautiful to see. If this calls to you, then I would be honoured to be your guide.
N.B A quick update, Silk has sadly closed, but I am working from the Float Spa in Hove and Higher Ground in Seven Dials and would love to welcome you there. If you need step free access please get in touch and I’ll be happy to help.
With lots of love, solidarity and excitement!
