Yoga Therapy, also called clinical yoga, is a completely individualised approach to practising yoga. It is the professional application of the principles and practices of yoga to promote health and well-being within a therapeutic relationship. These include:
A C-IAYT Yoga Therapist undergoes a minimum of three years of in-depth postgraduate training. As a qualified therapist, I collaborate with my clients to address specific goals, making each consultation “client-led” and patient-centred. I also consider any limitations the client might be experiencing. My professional training and development are ongoing requirements to maintain the International C-IAYT Accreditation.
“Yoga therapy is the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application of the teachings and practices of yoga”

Absolutely anyone, even if you have no prior experience of yoga. If the idea of attending a group class has held you back from trying yoga, or you’ve attended a class but found the class setting wasn’t quite right, then yoga therapy might be for you. If you’re already working with other healthcare practitioners, therapeutic yoga will be a wonderful modality to support you at any stage of your healing journey.
Wherever you find yourself mentally and physically, or if you’d simply like to have a personalised introduction to yoga, yoga therapy can help you with many aspects of health and wellbeing, including:
Initial Assessment – $110
Or Starter Bundle Option Available – $249.60
My therapeutic yoga consultations are held in the safe and comfortable environment of the Anglican Parish Hall in Shelley or at my Home Clinic. Both locations offer a quiet and welcoming space for our sessions. My Home Clinic features a backyard with chickens and a friendly cat named Leo, who may occasionally say hell😺 The Parish Hall is conveniently located close to Leach Highway.
The primary aim of our time together is to design a unique yoga therapy plan based on your current and long-term well-being goals, strengths, and challenges.
Your first session is up to 90 minutes long. During this time, we will discuss your individual needs, goals, and any health limitations. We will then engage in a specific yoga practice to explore your range of movement and learn how to safely get the most out of each posture. Based on our first consultation, we will design a tailored yoga therapy plan for you.
Follow-up Consultations – $90
Each subsequent yoga therapy session lasts up to 60 minutes. During these sessions, we will continue to refine your plan, identifying what works best for you and what doesn’t. The goal of these sessions is to empower you to continue your yoga practice without the guidance of a teacher or therapist.
What to Bring
Wear comfortable clothes, and if you have a favorite yoga mat, feel free to bring it along. I will provide any other necessary accessories, including additional yoga mats, cushions, and bolsters.
I have practiced yoga for almost 22 years and have trained in all aspects of yoga teaching and clinical yoga therapy for the last 10 years.
Chronic Pain & Bowel Disease Sufferer
I too have suffered illness and disease diagnosis. I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in 2015 and since then I have used both western medical interventions alongside therapeutic yoga to assist the management of my symptoms. I have since been able to regain confidence in my body’s abilities.

Offering yoga to those in need.
I am also passionate about offering subsidised/free yoga to those in need. I have offered subsidised, weekly classes to the health care workers at Fiona Stanley Hospital and St John of God Murdoch. I now offer an ongoing discount for all health care and emergency workers.
I also offer an exclusive Scholarship Pass to those in need to attend a term of community yoga or one of my specialised courses for FREE. The Scholarship Pass is all thanks to the extremely generous donation of local Real-estate Agent & Yogi – Kim Liew.
