My name is Tiara Hughes and I am a fully qualified Sound Healing & Meditation Practitioner, Personal Trainer, Kettlebell Specialist Trainer, Advance Hatha Yoga Teacher, Yoga Therapist and Pilates Teacher. I am also a wife, mother and a dog mother to two adorable English Cocker Spaniels. I am based in Great Shelford, a beautiful village south of Cambridge in England, although I originally was born and lived in Kuala Lumpur until my late 30’s.
I ‘retired’ from the corporate world after more than15 years working with multi-national construction and civil engineering companies in the field of administration, human resources, personnel management, occupational health & safety and quality management.
I have always been fascinated by the dynamics of mind and body connection and how this connection affects one’s overall health, fitness, wellness and happiness. Thus began my journey in nurturing my Self and other’s body, mind, soul and spirit……
I qualified as a Advanced Hatha Yoga Teacher, Yoga Therapist and Mat Pilates Instructor when we relocated to India for my husband’s work. I am also a Traditional Thai Massage and Foot Reflexology Therapist trained in Thailand with other therapeutic massages qualifications obtained in Malaysia and England. I have an Active IQ Level 3 Diploma in Fitness Instructing and Personal Training and is also a Kettlebell Specialist trained in the United Kingdom.
I have always loved music whether it is just listening or singing along to them. In my much younger days, I have taken lessons in playing the piano, organ and drum but just for fun. I love singing but my singing prowess was just limited to being a part-time karaoke DJ to support my living expenses in my early twenties. However, as I approached my early fifties, I was drawn to the articles and researches on using sound and dance movement as a healing therapy. In 2022, I trained to be a Tibetan/Himalayan singing bowl practitioner and also as a Sound Massage Therapist using the singing bowl as the healing instrument. This was followed by certification as a crystal singing bowl and gong practitioner. In 2023, I attended an immersive and intensive training with the Gongmaestro Aidan McIntyre and Tim Byford, an accomplished sound healing artist. I have also completed courses on Shamanic drumming journeying.
I offer group classes combining yoga & Pilates, personal training in my own fully equipped gym. I also have a therapy studio in my zen, secluded garden offering 1-2-1 and group sound healing sessions, taking you on a Sound Journey with the sound baths, gong baths and shamanic drumming journey.
I believe there is no limit to learning and is always seeking for opportunities to enrich my skills, knowledge and share the experiences with everyone. Feel free to contact me if you have any queries at all or perhaps would like to have a chat on how I can be of assistance to you in your self-care journey.
Our bodies are our gardens, to which our wills are gardeners
