About Me
My first ever experience of yoga was going to a few classes with my Mum when I was about 18. My lasting memory is a positive one, but in truth I wasn’t ready to embrace all that yoga has to offer.
In 2007 circumstances catapulted me into India and total immersion into everything yoga. India is a Mecca for teachers from all over the world and I was lucky enough to study with Emil Wendel and the late Sue Pendlebury. My love affair with yoga and with India was well and truly underway.
Since then, I have returned to India many times and continued to study, completing my 500 hour with Julie Martin and Emil Wendel. In addition, I have also studied with Rachel Hull, Jodi Boone and Jeff Phenix. Taking Gary Carter’s Functional Anatomy training 2017-18 has had a big influence on how I understand, explore and communicate when teaching.
I am eternally grateful to all my teachers, each of whom have inspired me to find my own true voice and to teach the way I do.
In around 2011, I had my first transformative experience with Vortex Healing® at a festival. It blew me away. I literally didn’t realise I could feel that good! At the time I had no idea what happened or how it worked, I just knew that it was magical.
Over the following years, I continued to receive these healings annually, until one day my healer suggested I undergo training myself. Starting this journey in 2020, I’ve since reached the level of Jewel as a healer, now working towards MI Level. I have never looked back, I truly feel blessed to have discovered this therapy. Now, I find immense joy in sharing the benefits of Vortex Healing® with others, offering my services to help them experience its transformative effects.
It was through podcasts and reading that I discovered The Oxygen Advantage® Programme by Patrick McKeown. I appreciated the scientific foundation underpinning his work, which is supported by numerous studies and clinical trials validating the breathing practices he teaches. To me, this represents a convergence of modern scientific knowledge with ancient wisdom.
After training with Patrick in Ireland in 2023, I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to impart this knowledge through teaching.
Fiona brings her whole self to each lesson. She is playful, knowledgeable and very experienced. She offers inclusive options for all levels and pushes you just the right amount to get the best out of your class.
A lovely beautiful person inside and out and I am so thankful that our paths have crossed.

As you can probably tell, I have a deep passion for learning. In many ways, I don’t see myself as just a teacher, but more of a facilitator—I love sharing what I learn because I genuinely want others to explore more of who they are and experience the benefits I’ve realised in my own life.
I believe it’s important to bring in lightness, joy, and a sense of not taking ourselves too seriously when working with people. While deeply empathic, I also hold space for serious issues. Some may even jest that I can “read minds,” though it’s more a case of being strongly intuitive.
I’m incredibly grateful to have found my path in yoga, self-discovery, and awakening to our true nature and purpose. The journey is ongoing, but I can confidently say that my relationship with myself, others, and life itself is much happier as a result.
