Just as you are
I’m here to guide you in coming back to your feminine energy through a nurturing community of like-minded women, connecting to your body, your breath and your intuition. GATHER brings women together in a sacred space of support, love and nurturance because women are powerful when we stand together.
GATHER was born from the culmination of my three passions in life - caring for animals, yoga and surrounding myself with incredible women.
I’ve always loved animals, this passion grew beyond Disney movies, stuffed toys and books to a career in the zoo industry where I am lucky enough to now be working with various species of birds (you may notice a few feathers here!). Working with animals also led to me to find my partner where we both now share a passion for birds and the natural world.
Yoga came into my life when I needed it the most, and what a journey it has been! From doing classes at home on YouTube, to gym classes, exploring Ashtanga and Vinyasa yoga, to finding what I had truly been looking for for years - Traditional Hatha Yoga. An incredibly life changing practice that I cannot wait to share. I will forever be a student of the practice of yoga and look forward to passing on what I learn to anyone willing to walk the path.
Having a support network of women who truly see me, support me and love me is something that I wasn’t able to experience until my 30s. Having these inspirational women around me has encouraged me to become the woman I am today, and for that I am beyond grateful. Finding these women that have brightened up my life hasn’t been easy, finding deep and true connections in this day and age can be a challenge. GATHER offers all women the opportunity to find their ladies, make new friends or simply be around other women just as they are.

GATHER is a passion project that has been in the background of my mind for quite some time. I finally gained clarity on what I can offer. With my deep and extensive understanding of the zoo keeping industry (career spanning over 15 years of experience!) and how this fast paced, mentally demanding industry can have on women, I knew I had the skills to create something unique.
Coupled with my passion for yoga and bringing women together, GATHER was created to encompass all aspects of my paths in life with more room to grow in the future.
GATHER offers an opportunity for zoo industry workplaces to give back to their staff, make them feel appreciated and replenished in the hard work they do.
While holding space for women in the zoo industry is a particular focus for GATHER, I deeply understand that women from all walks of life need connection. GATHER is open to all women and my intention is to hold space for you - reach out or check out the GATHER Instagram
page for upcoming Gatherings.
Women have a natural ability for compassion, nurturance and to show love and care. My extensive career in the zoo industry has given me insight into how much women give of themselves and how little they give to themselves. It has taken me a long time to realise how much I was depleted because of how much of myself I gave to the animals in my care, leading to burnout, stress and not connected to myself at all. Now, I focus on caring for myself, just as much as I would the animals, so I can be the best version of myself in all aspects of my life. After all, our careers are just a part of our lives, it is not our life. We are multi-faceted beings capable of anything we put our minds to and we deserve to give back to ourselves.
My intention is to create a grounding and safe space to support women. To allow them to feel held and nurtured while being surrounded by women who understand completely what they may be experiencing. It takes a lot for most women to step away and care for themselves because we feel the need to fulfil our roles - mother, teacher, lover, carer - the list is endless. I offer an opportunity for women to put themselves first, for just a moment, to be able to reconnect with who you are in your heart.
