Short biography
Ma, MRCGP, Diploma In Medical Education
Jane has been working as a GP in the NHS for the last thirty years. She has cared for people with every kind of complaint, and she has been fortunate to be able to support many people through the health challenges of the different stages of their lives. Her special interests lie in exploring how the mind and body interact, and particularly the ways in which anxiety and panic affect every aspect of health. Jane is the lead doctor in her practice for women’s health, and she has taught junior doctors throughout her career. Jane’s emphasis has been on helping people to understand the deeper reasons behind ill health, and to develop compassion.
Jane qualified as a Dru yoga and meditation teacher in 2008, and regularly runs classes in both Dru yoga and meditation, as well as running classes for doctors, helping them both to manage their own stress and improve their health, and to understand the value of encouraging their patients to try yoga.
Jane has recently been exploring Ayurveda, which together with an understanding of yoga, enables her to give much more specific and focused advice about diet and lifestyle. Jane is working towards a qualification in Ayurvedic massage, and as an Ayurvedic practitioner specialising in women’s health issues.
