I am a freelance flautist and Royal College of Music graduate with over 20 years’ experience performing with leading ensembles including the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Apartment House. Alongside my playing career, I teach yoga, breathwork, and mindset for musicians at the Royal Academy of Music and lead specialist workshops at top conservatoires. Through Beyond the Stave, I offer tailored support for injury prevention, performance anxiety, and well-being. From July 2026, I will also offer physiotherapy assessment and treatment for musicians.
