Nina first developed an interest in health, fitness and nutrition 23 years ago whilst living in California. She later went on to study Nutrition at Geneva University, before starting a Catering company specialising in serving healthy lunches to local businesses and International Organisations.

Nina returned to the UK in 1995 where she underwent training in Massage and Aromatherapy. Her interest in Yoga, Eastern Philosophy and Medicine led her to Northern Thailand in 2001 where she began her study of Thai Massage, returning in 2007 to Qualify in Traditional Thai Massage at the Wat Po Medical School in Bangkok. She continues to deepen her knowledge by attending advanced practitioner courses in London and Brighton.

During the summer of 2009 Nina developed the idea of creating the Yoga Garden to provide a beautiful space to practise Yoga close to nature and to provide her clients with a tranquil environment for improving their health and bringing their bodies back into shape and balance.
