About Kersten
Hi, I’m Kersten.
I am first and foremost a student of yoga, incorporating yoga principles into my life. Yoga has had a profound healing effect in my life; in mind, body and spirit. I love to share my passion for yoga with others and have studied yoga both in Australia and India. I am a qualified yoga teacher, meditation teacher and yoga therapist. I have also completed Trauma Aware Yoga Training and incorporate these principles into my teaching. Following my passion for food and nutrition I am currently completing a BHSc in Clinical Nutrition, which has a focus on holistic health, and will qualify in 2025.
Prior to working in holistic health I have a background in Science, Education and Educational Leadership and a strong interest in the commonalities between ancient wisdom and contemporary science. I fully understand the demands of a professional career and the need for work-life balance. I also have extensive experience in planning and delivering professional development and responsibility for a wide range of workplace priorities including staff development and wellbeing.
On a personal level I have worked through many challenges in recent years, including a significant injury and chronic pain. My yoga practice and working with the wonderful teachers I have had the pleasure of working with has been a transformative journey and brought me back to health. I believe my varied experience and understanding is invaluable in working with others to help and empower them achieve optimum health.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
