About Rosie
Rosie earned a BA Hons in Mental Health Nursing from Oxford Brookes University (1996-2000). She worked in mental health services for 16 years, specialising in substance misuse for over 8 years, and then in neurology and research at John Radcliffe Hospital for 13 years. Rosie retired early in December 2024 to focus on her health and well-being, and to develop her Yoga and Reiki practices to support others on their well-being journey. Rosie lives with several long-term health conditions which cause pain and fatigue and she has found Yoga and Reiki beneficial to her own well-being.

She completed a yoga foundation course (2019-2021) and earned the British Wheel of Yoga 300-hour Level 4 Certificate in Teaching Yoga (2023-2024). Rosie started teaching her own classes in January 2024 while completing the course. She adheres to the BWY Code of Ethical Conduct and safeguarding policies, maintaining a professional, caring, and compassionate approach. Passionate about making yoga accessible to all, Rosie teaches Hatha Yoga via a staged approach and includes breathing and relaxation practices.
Reiki
