My journey with yoga and healing started during a stressful time of my life as a university student living abroad in Belgium on my own, far away from any family & everything I knew. I felt overwhelmed.. juggling between deadlines, expectations, and the pressure to succeed.

I remember often feeling disconnected from myself, living according to ‘should’ rather than trusting my own internal guidance, stuck in my head, and unable to find a sense of calm. I prayed for help.

One day, I walked past a yoga studio where a class was happening and something called me to go in. It was the first time I truly felt a deeper connection to my body, an internal stillness that I had been searching for. That practice became a safe refuge for me, a way to ground myself when the outside world felt chaotic. It was then that I realized yoga was more than just beautiful postures.. it was a pathway to peace.

My real transformation came years later in 2017 when life threw an unimaginable challenge my way. While on holiday in Guadeloupe, I fell down a waterfall, shattering my knee in two pieces. I was stranded, unable to move, and had to wait three hours for a helicopter to find me in the middle of the jungle. The pain and fear were overwhelming, but thanks to my meditation practice, I remained calm.

Recovery took two years of rehabilitation to fully regain my mobility. During that time, I was also diagnosed with Lyme disease and to put simply: everything felt like it was falling apart. It was during that time that of healing that I was divinely guided to signed up for a yoga teacher training.

With my background of working in the corporate world, I never planned to become a yoga teacher but on the final day of the training as I stood in front of the class, a powerful energy came over me. I felt a light coming in from above over my body and heard the words ‘you are here to be a teacher’. At that moment, I felt the most confident and calm than I ever had as I taught my first ever class. After that I returned home to quit everything I had known and begin my new path in teaching.

Yoga became not just a practice but a lifeline, helping me rebuild my strength, confidence, and sense of purpose. Slowly but surely, I not only regained my full abilities but grew into a version of myself that felt connected, authentic, and aligned. I went on to teach classes, workshops, and retreats internationally throughout the USA, Europe, Asia, and Australia. In 2020, I opened my first yoga studio in Luxembourg, which later transformed into the loved online yoga platform, Anushia.

It was during my teaching journey that something unexpected began to happen. While giving hands-on adjustments to private clients and in group classes, students would often mention feeling a warm, healing energy flowing through my hands. Intrigued, I started to explore this more deeply and realized I was naturally channeling a powerful energetic presence. This curiosity led me to dive deeper into energy work, and eventually, I honed this gift by becoming initiated as a Master Reiki practitioner. Discovering this ability felt like unlocking another layer of my purpose, which was to not only guide people through movement but to support them in their energetic and emotional healing as well.

Looking back, it’s clear to me that yoga and healing have been my constants, guiding me through life’s most challenging moments, helping me reconnect to myself, and showing me how to move through the world with resilience and grace. These practices became more than just tools but a way of life.

Since then, I’ve dedicated my life to helping others do the same. I teach both in-person in Sydney and online worldwide, guiding clients to reconnect with their bodies, reduce stress, and create balance. Above all, I’m passionate about creating experiences where people feel safe, supported, and empowered because it’s when you heal, you become the person you were here to be.
