I am Maike (pronounced Myka), mother, yoga teacher, author and lived experience speaker.
​
I first trained and worked as an actress, but eventually got frustrated with the sporadic nature of the work. I went on to work for Relate as a Couple and Young People’s Counsellor and for charites including, Witness Against Abuse, NAPAC and the Luna Foundation.
​
​Training as a yoga teacher felt like a natural progression and an opportunity to integrate my previous fields of work. I am a believer in the healing properties of yoga on a physical and psychological level.
I volunteer for Reigate Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide (SoBS) as a group facilitator and am an ambassador for the charity.​
​
I have written a book: The Confession – A Journey to Acceptance, which charts my childhood growing up with a father with undiagnosed mental health issues who took his own life, it is published by Mirror Books
​
It is impossible for me to define definitively the services that I offer as I am still growing and creating my offerings, so always ask if you have a request or idea.
