MOVEMENT & WELLNESS TRAINING
The flame of my love of movement, sports and active living was lit as a young athlete in soccer, dance, and speedskating. I have always loved the feeling of being strong and free in my body and mind, and how this translates powerfully into how I show up in my life and in the world. This passion remained throughout my pregnancies and postpartum, and right into the present of perimenopause. At all stages of my life, movement, meditation, and wellness are of paramount importance to me. And so, it is no surprise that this is the heart of my work.
I have been an avid practitioner of yoga, movement, and meditation since 2002 and teaching since 2016. I have a deep passion for joint health and have trained in Functional Range Conditioning and sustainable movement. I’ve studied various styles of yoga including Iyengar, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Power, Hatha, and Restorative. I have specialized training in Prenatal, Postpartum, and Pelvic Health yoga, as well as being a trained full-spectrum doula. I also have training in trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness. I have been a member of the Mentor Collective for Heart+Bones Yoga Teacher Training since 2019. It is a continued pleasure and privilege to assist in the training of innovative yoga and movement teachers. I look forward to many more years of moving with ease, strength and freedom, and continuing to share these gifts with others.
I am deeply grateful to all of my teachers and mentors in movement, yoga and wellness. The knowledge and skills I’m honoured to share are rich with their wisdom and love.
