FEATURED AUTHOR
Alison Battye
I have worked as a Speech and Language Therapist for 20 years, working predominantly in the NHS. I currently manage a multidisciplinary team of Allied Health Professionals. I have practised yoga and meditation for as long as I have been an Allied Health Professional. Yogic Philosophy has profoundly influenced how I show up in the world. This inevitably informs my approach as a therapist and a team leader. If we can tune into our own needs, we more effectively meet the needs of others.
