Hear from our community

I loved this programme. India has a very gentle yet supportive ability to guide you through the exercises with timing and flow, as if she was in the room with you. Very easy to navigate your way through the modules and you don’t need equipment, just use what you have to hand.

Gentle Cancer Recovery does what it says on the tin – it’s beautifully put together and progresses gently, which was excellent when I was first emerging from cancer treatment

Roz

I’m so grateful I discovered India during my recovery from major surgery. I was worried I would do myself harm if I tried to do regular exercises on my own. Her in-depth knowledge of the body and understanding of my needs engendered my confidence and her unique approach combining her skills as an experienced physiotherapist and yoga teacher was just what I needed.

Kamini

I had never done yoga prior to breast cancer – but this helped me gain a sense of positive well being, feel physically stronger so aspects of my daily living become easier. Most of all it gave me hope that I was doing something to help myself

Scar tissue therapy – support your scar healing

Feel tightness, discomfort or numbness after surgery or radiation? Scar tissue therapy helps reduce sensitivity, improve movement, and support tissue healing, even years later.
