About Jane
Jane has 35 years of experience in the fields of Social Work and Psychology having trained at the University of Bath for four years and later, at the University of Central Lancashire for two years. Although she recently retired from these disciplines, she uses the knowledge and skills gained from them in her current role as a Yoga Therapist having recently graduated from a further three years of study at The Minded Institute in London.
While all yoga is beneficial for physical and mental health, yoga therapy uses specific yoga tools to target individual needs. It considers every aspect of a person’s life in order to help them achieve optimum health, promoting self-care and empowerment. Jane is a Minded Yoga Therapist who combines Yoga, Buddhism, Psychology, Psychotherapy, and Mindfulness with specific evidence-based practices rooted in science (anatomy, physiology, and neuroscience).
Jane is a calm, compassionate person who works hard to hold a safe therapeutic space for clients.
Jane holds yoga sessions on Monday mornings.
"I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at 55. After the initial shock wore off I was determined not to let it define me. Jane was recommended to me through a mutual friend. What an amazing find! She helped me with my breathing, stretching, meditation (her voice is like honey), posture and psyche. At times, what Jane has taught me, has been truly invaluable."
When I first met Jane I had little idea of what Yoga therapy was or if it could help me – I had been advised by a cranial osteopath that I needed to improve my breathing and relax my body, and that yoga might help. I wasn't really aware that I needed that, but Jane eased me into ways to work on this with skill, insight and compassion. It’s been amazing and a real learning curve. Her one-to-one yoga therapy has and is helping me so. The sessions are always beneficial and inspiring . Her kindness, patience and professionalism – the calm serenity she brings to the sessions is empowering and healing. Jane enables change to my life and wellbeing that is profound. I cannot commend her more highly.
(so thank you!!)
