Fiona  – spiritual name Aruni Devi – has been involved in health and wellness for over 20 years.  Far from sliding into yoga on a sea of zen, Fiona came from a background of high-intensity fitness, injured and looking for a way to keep moving without promoting further injury.  Over the last 10+ years, Fiona has dived into the world of yoga, completing over 1000 hours of teacher training, the most recent being with Akhanda Yoga Institute, accredited to Gurukul Kangri University in Haridwar, India.

Struck by the similarities between ancient philosophies and modern-day coaching and therapy, Fiona weaves her skills together to support people to overcome barriers and maximize their potential, from group training and development to 1:1 support.

This work has led her to explore plant medicine and the powerful, healing support it can offer.  She has been making and sharing cacao for the last 4 years as well as working with a range of other plant medicines for the last 6 years.
