About
It all started when…
I found myself living alone through lockdown. It meant that my self care routine was and is more important than ever.
In April 2020 I lost my job and with that, my sense of purpose, almost in an instant. Over 20 years working in corporate finance & technology, meant I was all too familiar with the 60+hour week. From planes, trains, long drives and endless hotels, I lived out of a suitcase and wore my burnout on my sleeve like a badge of honour. Something needed to change.
As a teenager I was always fascinated and drawn to the history and methods of ancient healing. After all, if the ancient Egyptians, Mayans, Indians, Chinese & Native Americans all practiced Reflexology thousands of years ago, surely there had to be something in it? And so, for many years I researched, learned, lived and breathed these techniques, all the while, going out into the corporate world and wearing my “busy” lifestyle.
Cue National Lockdown No.1 - whilst my usual holistic techniques helped, they weren't enough on their own this time. I needed something else. The next 8 months were to be a life changing chapter of my story. Immersing myself in the history, philosophy and teachings of yoga was an eye-opening experience.
In a world where so many things are out of our control, yoga gave me back that power and a sense of purpose, enabling me to tune into exactly what my mind and body needed to get through the difficult months ahead. My intention was not necessarily to become a yoga teacher, but on completing my course I naturally wanted to shout from the rooftops about how much it had helped me in some of my darkest days.
We are all unique, in our experiences, our minds and our bodies therefore yoga can mean different things to different people. For me it isn't about achieving the perfect pose, it’s about providing a safe space to listen carefully to the messages your body whispers to you. This has been the best relationship I have ever formed and it continues to blow my mind on a daily basis.
From there, Liria Wellbeing was born. It is now that I incorporate a blend of holistic therapies from massage and reflexology through to yoga.
