I’m a mother, an Australian expatriate, and a Vedic meditation teacher. Before becoming a meditation teacher I worked in global communications for an international organisation and understand the demands and challenges of the corporate world.

My Vedic meditation journey began in 2016, after trying a number of other techniques that required me to empty my mind of thoughts, or to observe them. I found these techniques frustrating and discouraging, and what was happening outside of meditation — anxiety and insomnia — wasn’t changing. Despite these frustrations I kept being pushed towards meditation and finally found a Vedic meditation teacher here in Paris, and decided to the plunge.

On the second day of the course, my teacher asked me for one word that described how I felt. I said, “relief”. I had finally found the technique I had been waiting my whole life for.

My teacher training consisted of over 2000 hours of study including a 12-week immersion with some of the tradition’s great masters, nestled away in the foothills of the Indian Himalayas. I was personally trained by Maharishi Vyasanand Saraswati Thom Knoles, the preeminent master of Vedic meditation, and graduated with special blessings and endorsement from Shri Shri 1008 Swami Kailashanand Giri, supreme authority of the Vedic world.

I have called Paris home for nearly 10 years. I teach in both English and French.
