What is YORE WAY?

At it’s conception, YORE was a blend of yoga + resilience - a reflection of the key elements of my teaching at the time.

Like me, my offerings ever evolving and these days YORE more accurately reflects yoga + remedial bodywork, through the lens of Zenthai Shiatsu therapy. Most people I know are already incredibly resilient, and don’t need to be coached on how to better handle the storms around them - instead they need spaces out of the weather.

Every body holds a different story, every day is a different experience, and every class or treatment is an opportunity to honour and support where you are at. For this reason, no two treatments or classes will ever be the same - even if we follow the exact same sequence. As a study addict and career chameleon, my perspectives and skill set are also ever-evolving. The only thing that will never change is my fundamental belief that healing is unique, individual and something that has to be done your way if it is to be accessible, effective, and sustainable.

Whether it is easing pain, supporting your nervous system, tools you can integrate in your everyday, or simply a space for you to surrender - I will always offer things in a way you understand, designed around your personal goals.

My professional background spans military, emergency services, executive & strategic leadership, disability support, mental health and more. I have had reconstructive surgeries, and injuries to just about every major limb and joint, and I have never found it easy to meditate. I joke that my body doesn’t need to keep the score, because I know I’m not winning any prizes! Through my own extensive physical and emotional healing, I have come to realize there is no magic bullet. No singular modality is better than any other, and the method in which wisdom is delivered is only as valuable as the ability of the recipient to understand and engage with it. My own journey has involved the medical system, psychology and psychiatry just as much as it has been through traditional healing methods; and I credit both for my recovery.

Whilst I always respect and honour the origins of my work, I understand the importance of making it accessible, and the value of providing credible bases for the things I espouse. I won’t preach philosophy to you if you aren’t ready to hear it. I don’t follow or see any singular modality or practice as the ‘right one’, and I will never tell you what you ‘should’ be doing. I will share from my toolkit where it is welcomed, with the emphasis always being that only you can decide what is right for you, and my aim is to support you to find the confidence to believe in your own innate wisdom, intuition and right to autonomy.

I know from my own journey the importance of respecting where people are at, and how much they want to engage with. If you are new to exploring energetics, yoga and bodywork, it is completely fine for our sessions to focus purely on the physical and structural side of remedial bodywork. For those of you more inclined towards depth, I will happily chat with you about meridians, philosophy and ancient wisdom.

Whether it is mindfulness or meditation, bodywork or ‘just a massage’ to you, I am invested in providing you with the support you need in your journey of health, wellness and happiness.

I welcome opportunities to have my understanding expanded through hearing what resonates with you. I am not here to judge, just share - in both directions. I believe we are all better served with curiosity, compassion and gentle challenge than we are with rigid belief systems.

It is a privilege to hold space for other space holders and fellow burnt-out warriors whose nervous systems have never had a real chance to rest.

I look forward to supporting you - YORE WAY.
