Libby is a therapeutic wellbeing practitioner and a yoga instructor for women at different stages of life: from pregnancy to postnatal and all the way to the menopause. Her lived experience of navigating each stage without support and knowledge motivated her to empower women physically, mentally and emotionally with yoga, science based information, therapeutic wellbeing and women’s circle discussions so that they are better equipped to face the challenges at each stage in a positive and healthier way.

Her passion to support and inform women at every stage of life is born out of her own experience of motherhood and menopause. 

Arriving in London 30 years ago, she became pregnant with her first child. Far from family and friends, she journeyed through motherhood with little support and knowledge nor were there any exercise classes for pregnancy and new mums.  She would have loved the opportunity to meet other new mums like her and do a safe form of exercise. The same thing happened as she journeyed through the menopause. After certifying as a yoga teacher, the lack of support and information she experienced motivated her to specialise in pregnancy, post natal and menopause yoga. 

Her degrees in BioMedical Engineering (Bachelor of Science from New York Institute of Technology) & Therapeutic Wellbeing  (Diploma from The Institute for the Arts in Therapy & Education)  give her a solid understanding of anatomy, physiology and neuroscience. These combined with yoga teacher training (200 hour from Integral Yoga) and a foundation in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (University of Oxford Mindfulness Centre) allow her to explain in clear and simple terms the effects of yoga, meditation and breathing techniques on the body and mind. 

Libby’s yoga classes are designed to ease the physical symptoms associated with each stage of life. They are also a safe place for women to gather, share experiences and normalise what they are feeling. The women leave Libby’s classes feeling better about themselves and the world around them.

Outside of work, Libby enjoys spending time with her 4 adult children, cooking and going to museums: all of which broaden her perspective on life in general and spark her creativity. Libby is also a life long learner and actively seeks courses, books and podcasts to expand her knowledge of women’s health, yoga and wellbeing. She enthusiastically shares the information in a friendly and easy to understand way through her Instagram account, written article, blogs and speaking engagements on podcasts.

Libby is on a mission to help women understand their body as they journey through the different stages of womanhood. She believes in the power of yoga to improve all aspects of their health and suggests natural remedies to promote wellbeing. Her goal is to make every woman’s journey a healthier, more informed and  a better one.

TESTIMONIALS

“ Tonight’s session was brilliant as I could close my eyes for most of it as you explain the poses so clearly. I didn’t have to constantly check the screen on my laptop. This really helped me relax into the poses. I loved the poem at the end too - a lovely addition to the class. What can I say: love, love, loved it!”

“ Another great session, thank you. Thoroughly enjoyed resting with my legs up the wall listening to you read the poem. Feel priviledged to attend these sessions. Thank you so much.”

“ Just what I needed and during the session I realised I don’t actually make much time for myself. Thank you. The timing was spot on too.”

“ Thank you for tonight’s yoga! At the end when you said, close your eyes and notice how your body feels, I smiled because my body felt happy and went from an 8 on the high end of the anxiety scale to a near blissful 2 during your session! You’re brilliant! Can’t wait for next week!.”

“Libby’s practice was an essential part of my week. I joined her pre and post natal classes before and during the pandemic. Libby is so attentive, has a thorough understanding of women’s health and is extremely accommodating by hosting classes in studio, then virtually and in a park. I highly recommend her classes for physical and pre natal wellbeing.”

“I just want to thank you for your course on Meditation and mindfulness that I have just completed. No apps can compare with having someone actually teaching and guiding you through a process that allows you to implement what you have learned in your everyday life. You made it so easy to understand why it will be so beneficial in our lives and I was amazed at how quickly, I found myself using these techniques with positive results. Thank you for showing me how to take my life forward using the tools you have taught me. I will miss the Wednesday classes as I felt we were in a class of friends, even though it was on zoom. Imagine what it would have been like if it had been a live class!

Thank you so much for everything”

“I took my first class with Libby as part of a Bump&Baby lunch and yoga social zoom event. I really liked Libby's style of teaching and poses/flows choice. It was tailored for pregnancy, but it was fun and challenging enough at the same time. After that first class, throughout autumn 2020 and my 3rd pregnancy trimester, I did two lots of classes with Libby and equally enjoyed them. The classes that I did incorporated not only yoga, but also reflection on pregnancy and motherhood. Libby provided food for thought on those topics and facilitated interesting discussions. I would highly recommend her pregnancy classes”
