Welcome to PARE Studio - a sensory space dedicated to slowing down and reconnecting with ourselves through the body and the senses.

To pare back is to remove the excess, to simplify. When we start to peel back the layers of roles, demands and expectations accumulated over time, we create space to return to what lies beneath them: our true essence. It's the idea at the heart of PARE Studio, where we explore scent and slow, embodied practices as pathways back to ourselves.

I am a yoga teacher and fragrance specialist with two decades of experience in the perfume industry - PARE Studio blends my two areas of expertise: scent and wellbeing.

My fascination with scent began in childhood and led me into the fragrance world in 2008, where I spent nearly two decades working across fragrance consulting, education, training and development for leading perfume houses, such as Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle and Grossmith.

After moving to Bristol, I began teaching yoga, establishing Yin Yoga Bristol. It wasn’t long before I was drawn back to fragrance through the discovery of Shy Mimosa Perfumery - from the desire to blend my backgrounds, PARE Studio was born.

Through PARE Studio, I explore the relationship between scent and self, considering how scent shapes the way we feel and interacts with the brain, nervous system and emotional response. Alongside this, I draw on mindful practices that build awareness, presence and regulation, creating space to connect more deeply with ourselves, others and the world around us.

PARE Studio's offerings range from a signature sensory experience, Ritual to Rest - drawing on the neuroscience of scent, its power as an anchor and its role in deepening our experience of connection - to a flagship seven-week programme, Seven Kinds of Rest, explored through the lens of yin yoga.

In 2026, I founded Bristol Scent Club - a community for fragrance lovers in Bristol - hosting events and meet-ups for people keen to explore, share and connect through scent.

Through Bristol Scent Club and PARE Studio, I work with individuals through regular classes and events in Bristol, alongside collaborations with retreat venues, wellbeing brands and organisations to bring these experiences to wider audiences; creating something distinctive and memorable for their guests, teams and communities.
