Read MoreAbout a year ago I twisted my back and neck very badly. I was experiencing back spasms, shooting neck pain and extreme stiffness as well as numbness and altered sensation throughout my entire body. I saw chiropractors, osteopaths, physiotherapists, surgeons, acupuncturists and every other specialist under the sun for six months with limited effect ....
After struggling to work every day and spending nearly a month in bed, I was directed to Julia. By this point I was depressed, anxious and uncomfortable. Over an 8-month period, using yoga therapy, Julia helped strengthen my core, reduce my back and neck pain and improve my health anxiety. She is an extremely skilled yoga therapist with great patience and endeavour. Julia is a game changer! I can’t thank her enough.
My GP recommended that I try yoga with Julia after I had been suffering for some time from a bad attack of sciatica.
With the ski season approaching I was keen to be in top form!
Julia immediately identified the source of my pain and put together a programme to increase my strength and mobility.
I am glad to say that my sciatica has now disappeared, my flexibility has vastly improved and my wife is jealous that I am a little thinner!
I greatly enjoy the one-to-one sessions with Julia which seem to be over all too quickly – this must be a good sign! She radiates calm, explains movements clearly and her approach is methodical. I soon know when I haven’t done any yoga classes as I become very stiff and injury prone.

Read MoreJulia’s yoga class is the only formal exercise I have ever really enjoyed ... I’m always amazed by the variety of the classes.
Read MoreI have practised yoga for a number of years but have sometimes suffered from lower back pain as a result. Julia was clear she would focus on practising postures with me that would strengthen but not strain my back. I have practiced the postures she taught me between two and four times a week since we started and I’ve found my back feels more flexible and strong. So much so, I will continue to incorporate her teachings into my yoga practice.
I have been to numerous classes that involve yoga breathing techniques, but I‘ve never felt I’ve properly mastered it. Julia’s demonstration and guidance was very clear. The breathing techniques she taught me have proved invaluable.
Following my first session, I tore a ligament in my ankle. Julia took care to readjust my therapy postures and incorporated some exercises to help rehabilitate my ankle, which have been very useful in keeping it supple during the healing process.
Julia’s clear guidance meant I could finally master yoga breathing techniques and new postures with ease, which will prove invaluable for my continuing yoga practice and in everyday life. She was sensitive to how I felt both physically and emotionally throughout our sessions and always adjusted their content so that I was comfortable.

After struggling to work every day and finding it hard to sit at my desk for more than 10 minutes and spending nearly a month in bed, I was directed to Julia. By this point I was extremely depressed, anxious, uncomfortable and close to giving up.
