I came to this work the long way round.
About Me
I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Annie- a psychotherapist, yoga teacher and breathwork practitioner based in Lancaster. Here’s a bit about how I got here, and what that means for how I work.
Where I’m coming from
For a long time I was running on empty. Burnout, constant stress and a sense of being cut off from myself had started to feel normal. I kept going, but something wasn’t right and eventually I reached a point where I knew things had to change.
The change came slowly, and mostly through my body. Yoga gave me somewhere to land and therapy gave me a space to process it. Then in 2020 I started practicing coherent breathing every day and that’s what really shifted things for me. Over time I felt steadier, more resilient and more at home in myself.
That experience is what led me to train as a yoga teacher, in breathwork and as a psychotherapist. I wanted to properly understand what had helped me,and to be able to offer it to other people with care.
“Understanding what’s going on matters. But so does feeling it.”
How I work
I bring together talking and noticing. Making sense of things is important, but so is slowing down enough to sense what’s happening in your body, find a little more ease and go at a pace that feels right for you.
I won’t hand you a formula or tell you how you should feel. Whether we’re working together in therapy, on the mat, or talking through your business, I’ll offer steady attention, curiosity and room for you to find your own way.
