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.
