Hello, I'm Jyoti
I'm an alternative education consultant, inspiring home educating families to allow children to grow organically and in alignment with themselves, whilst supporting the adults to stay grounded, centred and empowered.
I'm also a pretty rad therapist, holding beautiful spaces for people to dismantle the conditioning they've received from personal trauma and wider society. I help people feel safe and free in their body, their relationships and their existence. I guide people to create a life from the inside out, that reflects who they really are when all the distortions cease.
It's time for us to RISE, together, and live as the love we are destined to be.

WHAT TO DO
ABOUT SCHOOL
Are you scratching your noggin and wondering what to do about school?
Maybe you don't believe in mainstream education, but don't really know what else is out there for your kids
Perhaps you're already doing things a bit differently and want a bit more inspiration
Or do you just know that something needs to change about children's education?
'What to do about School' started as a postgraduate research paper
And has transformed into an inspiring handbook
To support parents, teachers and passionate people like YOU
Make informed decisions about how we educate young people
I spent a decade travelling the world
Accidentally visiting radical and phenomenal schools wherever I landed
From Goa, to Bali, Sydney, to Los Angeles and all across the UK
The book is a translation of my formal and informal research
Woven together with my knowledge and experiences
As an academic, activist, playworker, support worker, Steiner/Waldorf teacher
And as a travelling, self reflective human being
The writing spans many realms
From politics to sociology, to history, education and play theory
Empowering you to know what really matters when deciding how to meet young people's needs
And prepare them for grown up life in the modern world
If you're already wondering what to do about school
This book will inspire you, expand your perspectives and reveal the important elements to consider
In order to provide what children need and deserve...
The most awesome education possible!
LANDING IN SPRING 2022

TESTIMONIALS
“I love the way Jyoti uses language... Her depth of knowledge feels vast and I felt so held in her presence. There's something fresh about both her methods, her perspective and the way she shows up and guides you. I can't recommend her enough. Just being in her presence creates shifts. And she leads with a depth of integrity that really is a huge gift to this world.”
"Jyoti, you are such a find! So grateful to have connected with you - feel embolstered (is that a word?!) to have your wisdom and guidance as we embark on this journey."
"The most powerful thing about the session was making homeschooling feel not only possible but important and even necessary, and feeling validated and supported in this journey and in our collective approach."
"Jyoti held such strong and loving space, her capacity to channel with grounded clarity mixed her deep knowledge was profoundly impactful for me. I can’t wait for my next session!’"
“As a mentor and guide, Jyoti encourages you to ‘step into your power’ and connect with yourself and the universe around you in a much deeper way than could have been considered previously.”
“Jyoti is the best at what she does… She builds wonderful spaces both for human connection and internal exploration and healing.”
A Little Bit About Me
I'm a salt of the earth lass from Bradford in Northern England - a chavvy hippy, dedicated student of sociology, passionate wordsmith and deep feeling spiritual mystic.
I've been all over the world and had numerous, incredible teachers - from many kingdoms. I have dived deep into my own body & psyche, peeping under the surface of reality into the well of divinity to drink deep and make maps.
I've spent many years consciously unravelling the conditioning I have received. I've been into my own hell and turned the light on. I've learned to be with pain and hold its hand. I've been crushed by life and I've been kissed by it. I'm always in process.
I'm here to guide - to study & transmit, supporting people as we remember how to be real humans, consciously creating and living gently, dancing our prayers and celebrating the human experience.
I'm fiercely dedicated to freedom - individually and collectively. I see the ways we are all unique and feel that we can and must build new systems around this. I believe that it is down to us, you and I, to change the world. And I know that we can :)
