I am a writer, yoga instructor, and teacher of contemplative approaches to creativity. I write short fiction and performance texts, and perform my own work as part of a duo, 'Bespoken'. I also enjoy creative collaborations with other artists. I have extensive experience of training and mentoring writers and performers, and of teaching creativity in the workplace. My writing and teaching both arise from a foundation of meditational practice. I am a Kripalu Yoga teacher, and have a particular interest in the ways in which meditation and yoga can support creative work. I have presented academic papers on contemplative education and psychophysical performance at a number of international conferences, and have published in academic journals.
