ABOUT ME
I started my journey into self healing whilst studying Psychology back in 2007. I was suffering with lower back pain, anxiety and depression which conventional medicine was unable to resolve so I began to search elsewhere.
I discovered the benefits of yoga at the age of 19 and my whole life changed. My back pain eased through the strengthening and stretching of my body, and as I developed an increasing awareness of my body, I found that this had the added benefit of helping with my mental well-being.
​
After my degree, I went on to pursue work with students with autism. I implemented what I had learnt through yoga and meditation into my work and found that many techniques proved beneficial for the students. Basic breathing exercises, paired with engaging and relaxing the muscles helped to bring down those moments of anxiety. Regular repetitive yoga practice helped with awareness of where the body is in space. Meditation increased concentration.
​
I spent time travelling whilst deepening my own yoga practice and interest into the wider benefits it can bring. During a stay in New Zealand, I took a Yoga Teacher Training and was fortunate to be given an opportunity to teach, enjoying this new journey from student to teacher. After teaching for a few years, I decided to expand my skills and take a course in Thai Yoga Massage and Reflexology. I took these news skills with me to manage a Yoga Studio in Japan.
​
Always eager to grow and learn, I decided to integrate a little more of my background in Psychology and I took a course in Life Coaching and NLP. Along the way I have also taken many other yoga related training, such as Pregnancy Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Myofacial Release and a few more.
​
Now together with my husband Mohamed and our little daughter Basma, we run small retreats in Mohamed's family village, in the mountains by the sea in Taghazout, Morocco. Mohamed is an amazing Moroccan chef and cultural guide, and I provide the yoga, meditations and massage. Together we make a pretty good team. When we are not busy with retreats, I have all my online offerings available, such as Zoom yoga and Online Life Coaching sessions. Check out my other pages or contact me for more information.

Amy is a very warm-hearted and caring person. Her daily online lessons bring a wonderful structure into my life during these strange times. I like her soft and perceptive voice and appreciate her relaxed and clear way of explaining all the different poses and their effects on the body and mind. I learn so much from her and I’m excited and looking forward to her lessons every single day.
Amy, you make this crazy lock down situation a lot easier for me. I can't really imagine to do a yoga class in German ever again... Thank you so much! Namaste

Just spent the most wonderful 5 days with Amy, Mohamed and Basma, as Amy says, in the mountains by the sea. The location was breathtaking, with stunning scenery in all directions. Firstly the yoga, Amy has a lovely calm approach giving lots of variations and adaptations to suit everyone. The food was amazing thanks to Mohamed. We were looked after, from the moment you land, until you are taken back to the airport. I came home feeling energised and inspired. Can't wait to go back.

Absolutely love going on the Yoga, Moroccan food and culture retreats with Amy and Mohamed. They're amazing hosts, nothing is too much trouble and every need is catered for. If you are looking for an easy going, home from home retreat with an amazing variety of Moroccan food then this is the one, I would highly recommend.

It's unfair to describe the whole experience of yoga with Amy in a few words. It has almost been two years now and I can see how much better I feel in my body.
What I love about Amy is that she tries to make everyone comfortable during the class. She is absolutely someone that listens to everyone's needs, beginners, people with injuries and pregnant woman.
Very professional, punctual, so patient and knowledgeable, just born to be a yoga teacher.

Amy's yoga reterat is always a highlight of my year - this year will be my third! It's a perfect balance of organised activities and downtime, and always flexible and relaxing. The food is incredible and the setting in the mountains is the most serence and peaceful place to relax and reflect. Other attendees are always lovely and up for a laugh. It's like Amy possesses a special magic to bring lovely people together. Even though it's a few days I always leave feeling like a completely different person physically and mentally - recharged, nourished and blissful.
