Welcome to Lotus Sky
The teachings are a guiding light.
Life can be complex and confusing. Yoga makes it simple — connecting us with our true nature, providing clarity, and opening us to a fulfilling life.
Yoga translates as union and offers a complete science of living. In every situation these ancient and profound teachings soothe the conditions born of stress, cultivate presence, and inspire. On the deepest level, yoga connects us to our purpose and provides ever-new joy when practised with devotion, sincerity and commitment.
The counselling and support offered here comes from many years of integrating traditional Western therapies with Eastern philosophy and practice. Working in residential mental health programs I witnessed firsthand the need for a holistic, trauma-informed and relational approach to wellness. Holistic health must encompass mind, body, spirit, nature, environment and the social — when one area is neglected, the whole system is disadvantaged.
My intention is to weave practical counselling and psychotherapeutic tools with deeper existential philosophies and practices — to broaden awareness and deepen connection to Self. From this place one can meet their situation more fully, integrate the lessons, and move forward into greater self-expression.
“Healing is more a process of letting in the light than it is fighting with the darkness.”

Dedications
We do not walk alone.
An essential part of yoga is giving thanks to those who guide us. Fourteen years ago I signed up for a yoga teachers' course at Radiant Light Yoga — not knowing it would change everything I understood about myself.
Through that path I found my Guru, Paramahansa Yogananda, and my teachers Maaji and Adamji. No words can come close to the depth of my gratitude. This work is wholeheartedly dedicated to them.
We all have our own path and our own teachers. My intention is to help you connect more deeply to yours.
Lotus & Skye
The name behind the practice.
While every wellness journey is unique, and some time may need to be given to being with pain and acknowledging the past, ultimately healing comes from moving forward and cultivating joy.
Lotus and Skye — two German Shepherds — are a physical embodiment of joy and a constant reminder of how simple and pure healing can be when we connect uncompromisingly with what brings us alive. This practice is named in their honour.
Whatever brought you here, I encourage you to hear the call and turn contemplation into action.
