I’m a certified meditation and breathwork teacher based in the North East of England - and the heart behind Power of the Pause.

My own journey with these practices began over a decade ago but it wasn’t until burnout, chronic stress and anxiety forced me to fully stop that I truly understood their benefits. After years in fast paced and high pressure jobs (as a journalist and then a teacher) I was completely disconnected from myself. What started as time off for my mental health became a reluctant but necessary pause.

That pause helped me reconnect with my body and mind, rebuild from the inside out and realise just how vital rest, presence and nervous system care really are. Power of the Pause was born from this - a space rooted in redefining productivity through pausing and believing that rest isn’t wasted time.

I now share what I’ve learned through beginner friendly, inclusive and adaptable classes, bespoke 1:1 and small group sessions and collaborative workshops - always blending ancient practices with science-backed tools that actually work in modern life.

There’s no jargon, no pressure, no ‘shoulds’ - just real practices for real people, offered in a way that feels accessible, gentle and supportive.

I can’t wait to meet you.
