Things changed for me as 2017 landed.
Teaching yoga was still a joy but I felt the gentle pull of a previous life. One of routine, regular income and office banter. So by April 2017, I found myself back in full time work, receiving what I’d asked for (the universe has my back, baby!) and I was happy and grateful of the role and opportunities it offered.
Fast forward to June 2018 and I am still happy but a lot (a heck of a lot!) has changed.
Sat and I have decided to take some time out with the kids. Proper ‘time out’. We’re taking the kids out of school for the year, putting our stuff into storage and renting our pretty suburban home in St Albans, in England.
The tide of life’s daily grind had swept us away life and ‘quality time’ as a couple and family was becoming more and more scarce. So ‘why not? we thought… we’d heard about people doing it (and not regretting it!) so we thought we’d give give it a shot! We’re conducting a ‘lifestyle design experiment’, (as Tim Ferris aptly puts it) and our aim is to work smarter, home-school and travel. It’s a mammoth decision to take because where we live in St. Albans is lovely and on the surface everything is ‘fine’ but something was missing and the world is waiting…
Totally bonkers in many respects but anything is possible (with a boat load of drive and a vision for the future!)
We leave for Tulum, Mexico on 30th August… 13 weeks and counting.

Hello and welcome!
Rewriting stars is a window into my world and a continuously evolving platform. I share my experiences and aspirations and hope that you will find something that sparks you.
It started off as a site where I'd plug my yoga teaching schedule alongside insights from my practice and later became a space (or 'placeholder') where I had the great intentions of being one of those cool traveller mums who blogs, homeschools, does yoga and everything else. Unfortunately I got swept away! The travelling did happen and so did the yoga (sometimes!) but the homeschooling became ‘unschooling’ and the blogging became living in the moment... We spent 9 months on the road in total, travelling from Mexico to Peru and Thailand to India. It was an immense blessing (especially since we’re still in Lockdown here in the UK) and we created tonnes of magical memories for which I'm forever-grateful for.
We returned home to St Albans, nearly two years ago and now this little site is going to be a space where share my work experience and skills… I'm currently half-way through my UX diploma and the goal is to be part of a purposeful organisation that delivers net positive gains to the word and one that allows me to contribute by developing functional, emotional and frictionless experiences that move people - and sell.
