It started at 2.30am on a Wednesday morning, about ten years ago, after months of not sleeping.

I’d tried everything. And then, mid-training as a yoga teacher, I rolled out my mat in the dark and something shifted.

That sent me deep into nutrition coaching first, where I kept finding the same thing. Poor sleep was at the root of how women were eating, how they were feeling, how they were coping. So I followed the thread. I trained in yoga nidra and advanced breathwork, studied sleep coaching, and built The Sleep Yogi around one aim: difficult sleep shouldn’t just be a fact of life for women.

What I’ve learned along the way is that lifestyle, stress and hormones can all disrupt sleep, but it’s usually the reaction to being awake that keeps you awake. So every tool I’ve built is designed to work with your body, not against it, so sleep can return naturally.

I’m a 500hr yoga teacher, breathwork and yoga nidra teacher, sleep coach and nutrition coach, based in Jersey.
