YOUR NICHE
My niche is empowering and encouraging people to be brave enough to slow down and deeply connect with themselves to find inner peace in the modern world. I didn’t choose this niche – it found me. I was into high-impact sports, classes and swimming and was very fit. Slowing down didn’t cross my radar but then I had major spinal surgery in 2011. I was always told to avoid yoga due to the amount of forward bending involved. I — and my medical team — were under the impression that the traditional Hatha-style yoga was the only option, so I avoided it.
