About Me
Ita discovered Yoga whilst living in Toronto, Canada in 2001. Yoga provided the missing link in her awareness of the body mind connection. In her professional careeer she intially trained as an RGN and then staffed at Charing Cross Hospital, London. Further development led her to train as a midwife at Simpson Memorial Maternity Pavillion, Edinburgh where she staffed for six years before returning to Royal Jubilee Maternity Hospital, Belfast. Through this background she has developed a passion for human anatomy and physiology, evolving her understanding of the alignment of mind and body.

Testimonials
After being absent from yoga for 5 years, I decided to resume my practice. I thought I knew what to expect from the initial consultation with Ita, boy was I wrong, in a million good ways! Not only did she take a thorough medical history, she took the time to gently inquire of life transitions and current hurts. Her genuine care for her students was made evident immediately. She explained the mind-body-spirit connection (and continues to educate me on this). Next, she had me stand against a wall where she did a complete body scan. She could identify problem areas, including past injuries, with ease. I believe this is what truly sets her apart from other yoga instructors. She started making an action plan of how to bring about full healing and strengthen weak areas. I’ve never been so amazed by someone’s intuition and knowledge of every part of the human body! Just four months later, I am stronger, more flexible, and have found a healing ally with Ita! She is one of a kind and worth every pound.
1:1 Client Testimonial
I thought I knew what yoga was, having done different classes over the years, how wrong I was! An hour with Ita and I was blown away, what a difference!!! Ita has an amazing knowledge and understanding of yoga but more than that she has an attitude and ability to truly focus on what you need and your individual situation.

I am fortunate to have a weekly 1:1 session with Ita. This is my weekly retreat from a busy life. Ita is not only an amazing yoga teacher but one who has connected me with my mind, spirit and body. Through my sessions Ita has given me grace and a safe space to be myself.
