You have been
coping for
far too long.

I work with creative professionals, founders and people who feel things a little more than most — and who have been quietly getting on with it while anxious, overwhelmed and tired in a way sleep doesn't fix. That kind of tired doesn't pass on its own.

The Practice

01

One-to-One Yoga Therapy

We work privately, at the pace your body decides. Breath, movement, rest and honest conversation — arranged around your week as it actually is, not the one you keep meaning to have.

02

Yoga Philosophy in Practice

The old texts, read as something practical. They're good on attention, on the loops your mind runs, on the stories we mistake for facts. We take them slowly and see where they land with the decisions you make on a Tuesday.

03

Meditation & Stillness

First we make sitting still bearable. Then we make it worth doing. We start with what you can hold today, which is usually less than you think and enough.

What Waiting Costs

Anxiety doesn't stay in its lane. It reaches everything you care about.

It starts small — a tight chest, a short fuse, waking at four. Then it's your sleep, your patience, your good ideas, the ease you used to have with the people closest to you. Most of us wait until the body insists.

This work is slow, but it isn't passive. We move at the speed your nervous system allows and build something small enough that you'll actually keep it — not another routine to fall behind on.

Why This Work

I've been on the inside of this.

I'm an Integrative Yoga Therapist and Wellbeing Coach, based in Goa. My approach is grounded — it takes the body and the mind equally seriously, and it's built around you, not a method. Each person who comes to me arrives with their own traits, their own history, their own way of carrying things, and the work has to fit that, not the other way round.

I didn't start here. I worked in the fashion industry for close to a decade, and for years the thing standing in my way was my own head — the same negative thoughts on repeat, days heavier than they had any right to be, and a fairly poor opinion of myself. I could see what I was capable of and couldn't get near it.

Practice shifted that. Not fast, and not by pushing harder. My training has been long and unhurried: certified in the Sivananda lineage, extensively mentored within the Bihar School of Yoga tradition, and more than three years spent studying yoga philosophy for its own sake. My therapy work rests on an 800-hour certification from Svastha Yoga & Ayurveda, accredited by the IAYT. Seventeen years of practising and more than ten of teaching have gone into testing all of this on myself first, and then alongside the people I work with.

So when you write to me, you're not explaining this to someone who's only read about it.

The Wider Work

Knower & Field

Knower & Field is the home I've built for this work beyond the one-to-one room: courses, a membership and a steady place to keep practising with other people who are after the same thing. A whole ecosystem for cultivating calm within.

Some people start privately with me and continue there. Others begin inside Knower & Field and come to sessions later. Either way round works.

Get in Touch

The right time was earlier. The next best one is now.

You don't have to keep carrying this by yourself. Tell me where you are and what's feeling heavy — a few honest lines will do. I read every message myself, and if this is the right fit, we'll find a way in.
