Meet the founder of Samatva | Yoga & Holistic Wellbeing

Born in a little quiet town in the the countryside of the south-west of France, my journey has been quite the opposite of typical.. At 22 years old when people around me thought I needed to be succesful at university and pursue my biology degree that would allow me to land a comfortable and stable role in a lab, instead, I decided to move to bustling city of Tokyo, Japan. On my own, without really mastering the language and without knowing anything of living abroad, I trusted my gut and I moved away to the land of the rising sun even if it was a huge step outside of my comfort zone. Whilst this year abroad was full of challenges, ups and downs, it shaped me and I knew, from now on that my life was going to be very unconventional and it has been. It has been full of experiences that led me to the heart of holistic wellness where I am now. From biology, I pivoted towards a more tactile path, immersing myself in the world of beauty, wellness, and massage therapy. It was here that I unearthed the profound connection between subtle energies and emotions, igniting a passion that would guide me across continents.

​

Fast forward, I moved to London, Australia and finally to the rainy landscapes of Scotland, my quest for understanding and inner peace led me to explore diverse cultures and modalities. Yet, it was amidst the ancient wisdom of yoga that I discovered a profound sense of alignment. While initially hesitant, the universe gently nudged me towards this transformative practice, eventually leading me to the cosiest Yoga studio in Edinburgh, where my love affair with yoga truly blossomed. In the wake of the pandemic's chaos, I found peace in the sanctuary of self-practice, delving deeper into the philosophy and anatomy of yoga. Fuelled by a thirst for knowledge and personal growth, I embarked on remote trainings, eager to immerse myself in the rich tapestry of yogic wisdom. However, when life finally returned to this new normal, I kept myself busy, studying again at university in the field of Psychology & counselling, working full time.. However I found myself teetering on the edge of burnout, yearning for a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment. I needed to go away, almost wanting to start over and escape. At this moment, in 2022, a Yoga teacher training opportunity came upon me and once again, I knew in my gut I needed to go to Bali despite a huge fear. But I did it, I am so proud to have pushed myself out of my comfort and burned-out zone because it was simply transformative. However, my body needed to rest and the path to take wasn't yet to be full of clarity.

​

It was only at the end of 2023 a serendipitous encounter with a local community of kindred spirits that reignited the flame within me, reminding me of the power of connection and shared purpose. Armed with newfound clarity and conviction, I took the leap towards entrepreneurship, founding Samatva Therapies as a haven of holistic healing and wellbeing. With a background in psychology, over a decade of experience in the wellness industry, and extensive yoga teacher training, I am committed to guiding others on their journey towards self-discovery and inner harmony. My vision is to elevate wellbeing and cultivate a sanctuary of tranquility where individuals can reconnect with their innate wisdom and vitality.
