What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?

I have found that with my over decade of work in this field that humans all desire to be  seen, respected and heard. My approach begins with the prior in mind because when one feels seen, respected and heard they feel a trust to open up. When we open up, learning becomes more enjoyable and approachable. When students enter the space, you can see their barriers dissipate and their curiosity to dive deeper becomes more apparent . I teach and guide students from a place of open compassion in order to ignite that curiosity so they can take ownership over their own lives . I develop students into leaders and teachers within 21 day intensive teacher trainings in places like Costa Rica and Bali. My teaching is based on both eastern yoga philosophies and western understandings of biomechanics and injury prevention to foster students into teachers that lead holistic lifestyles and serve mindful yoga classes. This approach empowers them to live their lives with more intention, presence and cultivates more fulfilment in their personal and professional lives.

What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?

 I have found that the most important  aspect of being an impactful trainer is to be open, compassionate and curious. I find that treating each of my students with genuine warmth and  respect creates an immediate bridge of connection. From here, deep growth and learning is possible and transformation naturally occurs.

I am a previous fashion executive turned Yoga Teacher and Women’s Wellness Coach. My non-stop lifestyle in London and constant pursuit of achievement pushed me into a burnout and eating disorder. I left my career in fashion tech and embarked on a journey of self-discovery across the globe.

I fell in love with the lifestyle of Tulum and stayed in Mexico for several years to study holistic health and teach yoga & meditation. I recently returned to Sweden after ten years of living abroad as I could see other women longing for healthier and happier lifestyles in the city.

I believe that work and wellness can co-exist with daily practices and supportive tools to manage the challenges women face in their everyday life. I take a holistic, 360-degree approach to wellbeing and align the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of our being.

Noell Clark

My first yoga teacher wore a spandex unitard, was two dimensional, and taught asana from between the covers of a bargain book called “Yoga”. Following a recommendation from my therapist, I turned to the book looking for relief from the physical discomfort of early addiction recovery. That little book on yoga would change my life forever.
