De-Desk Yourself ꩜

Simple.

A science-backed system which creates tailor-made programmes for your teams and leaders… Whether you need support for a team day, a management conference, or weekly booster sessions in your office, the programme is tailor-made to fit around your specific business needs.

Over my years as a teacher I’ve worked with many businesses and individuals…

Looking at physical and emotional benefits of movement and meditation in the office environment, this programme brings decades of knowledge and corporate experience together, along with my personal adventure through stress-management.

The goals, are to re-focus, calm, and energise staff as needed, in order to make them feel more comfortable and productive.

This isn't yoga - this is taking key principles of breathwork, and neurology, and science of the body, to create a healthy and motivated workforce.

I’m a Trauma Informed practitioner, anatomy geek, and holistic teacher. My decades of experience in management roles, enables me to fully understand the needs of teams and individuals in the office environment.

Work with me.

Incorporating breathwork, meditation, neurological exercises (brain games), and movement, the De-Desk Yourself ꩜ programmes offer practical and effective ways to bring mindfulness back into your workplace. Consistency is more effective for preventing burnout than occasional, intense practices.

Sessions can be online or in-person, and fully align with your corporate wellbeing strategy..

I've worked with Brandwatch, Usercentrics, Pandora, SiteImprove, Mærsk A/S, OneSubsea, Leeds BID, Leeds University, AXA Group, Pure Gym, Intermarketing Agency (UK), and Sports England, amongst others.

About me…

I spent years working in high-demand roles, leading teams, delivering projects for global brands, organising and running events, and travelling. Burnout was always in view - even though I loved my job and my days were completely fulfilling!

And this is what De-Desk Yourself ꩜ is about - bridging corporate credibility with ancient wellness practices. The programme is designed for people to gather the skills they need to be stress-free and mindful about who they are throughout life, improving productivity and performance.

When I thought about ‘re-balancing’ I went to entertainment, friends, non-work activities. When I went to my first yoga class and combined movement and breathing and stillness, I realised something I’d been missing. Listening to that need to stop.

Being in a busy environment means it’s so easy to lose sight of that need. I know this, I’ve been there. It’s great to fill space with good friends and laughter and nourishing activities, but sometimes we need different things to slow down and rebalance.

We also have to be more sensitive to our nervous systems and our energy. Our nervous system controls what we do and how we respond in every situation; our focus, productivity, emotions, fatigue…

My decades of yoga practice have allowed me to gather insights in neurology and physiology to put alongside my corporate mind and business needs.

So now, I help busy professionals and leaders prevent burnout, restore balance, and thrive through practical yoga, Qigong, and mind-body wellness.

My perspective on overcoming obstacles is through knowledge.
