About Me

Welcome - if you’re new here, I feel like now is a good moment to properly introduce myself.

For those who know me well, you may find out something new too - so keep on reading!

If you met me a few years ago, you would have seen a very capable, high-functioning woman.

A city lawyer based in London. Driven. Reliable. Holding everything together.

What you probably wouldn’t have seen so easily was everything happening underneath.

Navigating immigration. I moved to the UK from Russia more than a decade ago - and it was something!

The pressure of building a career. And building one in a global law firm.

Then, after Covid, a relationship ending. Divorce.

Burnout that crept in quietly and taking some time off work to figure things out.

Then becoming a mother to my son with a loving partner. Matrescence hit hard, as I was navigating nappy changes, breastfeeding and sleepless nights.

Trying to keep showing up through all of it.

From the outside, life kept moving forward.

Inside, there were moments where I felt completely disconnected from myself.

But yoga was always there in the background. Over time, it became less of a workout or “practice” and more of a way back.

Back to feeling grounded.

Back to feeling calm.

Back to feeling like myself again.

Not in a perfect, polished way, but in a real, steady, deeply supportive way.

I’d find my way back to the mat. Sometimes for 10 minutes only. But that was enough to reconnect with myself.

Other times my practice would be focusing on my breath while breastfeeding at 3am in the morning. Or just being a mum - no mat, no time for me, just practicing motherhood.

That journey is what led me here.

Now, alongside my work as a lawyer and being a mum, I create spaces for other women who are holding a lot, helping them to reconnect with themselves in a way that feels calm and supportive.

This is just a little introduction to me.
