Meet Jacqueline 

"There was a time when I looked like I was holding everything together on the outside but on the inside I felt exhausted, disconnected and lost. 

​

I had spent so long looking after other people, striving, meeting expectations and pushing through that I had lost touch with myself. 

​

My confidence had faided and I had forgotten who I was underneath it all. 

​

What I discovered changed everything.

​

The answer wasn't to work harder or become a different person. It was learning to connect with myself- my values, my strengths, my desires and the wisdom of my own body. 

​

I'm Dr Jacqueline Lavallee, a Health Psychologist andTransformational Coach. I support people to rediscover what energises them, reconnect with matters most and create a life that feels more aligned, meaningful and alive"

Meet Ruth ...

I'm Ruth, a yoga teacher, physiotherapist with an interest in pelvic health and lover of adventures. 

​

After 10 years of working shifts  in healthcare I was burnt out and anxiety set in.

I knew something had to change. 

​

That's when I turned to yoga- I completed my teacher training in 2019 and qualified in various styles of yoga including pregnancy, yin and restorative. That's when Energise Yoga was born.

 

I discovered how transformative yoga was for my whole life 

​

I'm here to guide you back to your body, to empower you to move in ways that feel good and connect to the wisdom that yoga can teach us. 

​

For me, it's not about fancy leggings or flexibility. It's turning up exactly as you are and welcoming every version of yourself to the mat - past, present and future.
