I am a qualified Senior Occupational Therapist with a background in the NHS. I evolved my career at age 30, moving away from the NHS , after I was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer 5 years prior. During this time , I discovered the benefits Yoga brought to me physically, mentally and spiritually and it became a central part of my treatment and full recovery . It was so beneficial that I decided to retrain as a yoga teacher , and developed Yoga Flow with Karen in 2006 opening my first class in Lostock which was a great success. I made a full recovery with complete remission and am a two time cancer survivor.
