Hi, I'm Charlotte.
I specialise in safe and effective complementary therapies, working one to one or in groups, integrating all aspects of one's being from the physical to the transcendental.
I believe a rich, rewarding, meaningful life is possible for all, given the right support. The body and mind are the way in to discovering who you are, as a whole person, and I am here to facilitate your journey of self-exploration and growth.
I am based in the Canary Island of Fuerteventura, but I am originally from east London. I was a rebellious but academic child who left Manchester University with a first-class honors degree, impatient to work and succeed.
I entered the shiny world of media and advertising and had a colourful career working with some of the world’s biggest brands. I learned the rules of how to succeed in a very male-dominated industry, but soon began to try and re-write the rules, developing my own style of leadership founded on equality, positivity and opportunity. I didn’t pause for breath, and in the pursuit of the person I thought I wanted to be, I lost who I was. I approached my thirties feeling untethered, and unrecognizable; success didn’t bring me the happiness I was looking for and my life lacked meaning.
I chose to let go of everything I had built and spent the next 16 months travelling, exploring, volunteering and studying. I started again and bit by bit I grew, stretching the shape of who I thought I could be. Every step forward I took I integrated the learning from the previous step, creating a more balanced, more whole version of myself.
This spirit of self-exploration and growth has fuelled my life since then- I am now lead yoga teacher at Azulfit yoga and Pilates retreats, I travel nationally and internationally to study and support clients through yoga, meditation and coaching. I volunteer as a crisis counsellor with a UK charity, and work with local charities in Fuerteventura to raise awareness and funds for the rights of women and children.
OurBeing is an unfolding process, the integration of many years of study, work, passion and real ambition to help and to give something meaningful to the world. I have endless optimism about our humanity, and our right to be safe, to be loved, to grow and to be whole and I hope I can help you in some way.
