Meet The Team
Siobhan Fitzgerald
Yoga Therapist & Ayurvedic Consultant
I’ve spent the past 35 years working in integrative care, with a deep-rooted passion for Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy. My own healing journey through these practices was so transformative that I felt compelled to share them with others. I truly believe in the body’s ability to heal and thrive when given the right tools—and my role is to help guide that process.
My approach is entirely personalised. Using Ayurvedic principles, I work with you to understand your unique constitution and develop a lifestyle and nutrition plan that suits your body type. I also prescribe breathwork (pranayama) and therapeutic yoga tailored to your needs—whether you’re managing stress, anxiety, low mood, back pain, high blood pressure, or other physical or emotional imbalances. My focus is always on finding the root cause, not just treating symptoms.
For the past 20 years, I’ve been honoured to study and work with a respected research institute in India. I’m currently the only person in the UK to have undergone such an extensive training programme, learning directly from Ayurvedic doctors, surgeons, breath masters, neurologists, and philosophers. This rich fusion of knowledge deeply informs the work I do.
I’m also the author of Breath Code, a guide to unlocking energy and emotion from within through breath and movement.
At Westbourne, I offer morning ritual classes in Yoga Therapy and Breathwork, as well as accredited Yoga Therapy Teacher Training programmes (800 hours starting in May, and 300 hours in September). I look forward to supporting you on your journey to balance, strength, and inner calm.

Voice Analysis Frequency Prescription
Voice Analysis is an innovative therapeutic system that uses sound frequency analysis to support emotional and physical wellbeing. By recording and analysing the unique frequencies in your voice, the software generates personalised "Balance Files"—short audio tracks designed to promote harmony in the brain and body.
Rooted in decades of European research, this approach delivers bespoke frequencies through normal headphones or speakers, with sessions typically lasting no more than 15 minutes. The goal is to gently support the body’s self-healing mechanisms and improve emotional balance over time.
