A personal commitment to holistic recovery

Like many people, I’ve watched close family members face cancer. Those experiences shaped me deeply — and led me to dedicate my life to helping others affected by it.

After training as a physiotherapist in the UK, I specialised in oncology and palliative care. I spent years working in the NHS and hospice settings, where I saw just how much people were supported during diagnosis and treatment — but how little existed once that ended. Rehabilitation was often patchy, inaccessible, or missing entirely.

I knew there had to be a better way.

Gentle Recovery is my way of bridging the gap between treatment and independence – offering expert, personalised support that feels safe, empowering, and deeply human.

I believe that movement is medicine. It should be considered as essential as surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy – because the evidence shows that it not only supports quality of life, but can reduce the risk of cancer recurrence.

But more than that, I believe everyone deserves a space to reconnect with their body, rebuild emotional resilience, and feel truly supported as they recover.

Yoga changed my life. As a teenager struggling with stress and eating disorders, it offered me a way to come home to myself. It taught me how to listen to my body, how to rest, and how to soften into something bigger than anxiety or control.

Years later, I trained as a yoga teacher in India and helped launch a hospice in the Himalayas. That’s when I began to understand the deep potential of yoga for people affected by cancer, and why I later trained in Cancer Yoga and as a Cancer Exercise Specialist.
