My Story ...

​

I love what I do. There is no doubt about it.

​

After graduating from university, how I thought my life path would play out changed and it took about a decade to sort it out. It took something completely random for things to shift. I received a voicemail intended for someone else. This message, intended for a stranger from a stranger, pointed me in a new direction. A melodious voice informed me a new series of yoga classes were to begin and to call back for more information. At this point, yoga was not a household word. I didn't know anyone going to classes at the time yet this message intrigued me and felt like a sign. So, I called for more info and went to check out that class!

​

I soon found myself inside a century old church in a candle lit room full of people participating in my first yoga class. The anonymity of the darkened room enabled me to pay attention differently and focus easily moved to breath and body moving. The other people were mere shadows yet the warmth, the unified group pulse of breath and energy made the room feel charged with life. It was something completely new and exhilarating. The experience resonated deeply. That Autumn in 1996 marked the beginning of my path into the healing arts of yoga and Thai Massage. Five years and many yoga classes later, I took an inaugural 350 hr yoga teacher training with my first teacher - the one with the melodious voice. Right after graduating, I did another training and certified as a Thai Massage practitioner. Now 25+ years later, I'm blessed to say I’ve worked this entire time as a full time Yoga Teacher & Trainer + Thai Massage Practitioner & Teacher. I've accumulated well over 18,000 yoga teaching hours, thousands of Thai Massage teaching hours and shared many 1000's of Thai Massages as a practitioner. Continuing education is important to me, so I continue to take trainings in both modalities as often as I can.

Now based just east of Toronto in the Durham Region area, I am committed to holding space for people as they move attention inward and discover their body’s natural ability to move, rest and heal. Drawing from a rich background in movement and mindfulness, I ultimately seek to guide people toward living a healthy, vibrant life. Having honed my skills and developed areas of specialty in Restorative Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Yoga for Seniors, Chair Yoga and Thai Yoga Massage, it’s fair to say I support people as they navigate change during significant and uncontrollable life shifts using key tools of my trade – accessible movement, breath, mindfulness, yoga, deep conscious rest and compassionate touch.
