I am inspired to support you in being healthy and well, and experiencing greater joy, love and peace in your life.

​

I bring to you my knowledge and experience as a certified IAYT yoga therapist, 20+ years as a yoga teacher and shamanic student, and six years as a certified senior Breathwave facilitator and trainer. I have frequently taught alongside my Breathwave teacher Robin Clements, and continue to learn, grow and refine with every new retreat and training. As a lifelong learner, I am currently doing graduate studies for a Masters of Counselling Psychology and am in year 2 (of 3) studying Somatic Experiencing method developed by Dr. Peter Levine - a body-oriented approach to healing trauma and stress.

My yogic background includes a 20+ years on the traditional paths of Tantra, Ashtanga and Vijnana yoga, for which I have 1200+ hours of teacher training, and thousands of hours of teaching experience. An additional 1000 hour IAYT yoga therapy certification offered deeper knowledge and tools, and enables more specialized expertise. 

​

Combined with this has been walking of a shamanic medicine path that started 20+ years ago where I learned what it means to be in relationship with our Mother Earth. Through ceremony, prayer, plant medicines and wise teachers, I have come to know the sacred. I sat in nature and listened to the life that was all around me, and to all that it could teach me. I have a deep reverence for our natural world and for the immense beauty of what is seen, and also unseen.

In addition to the above, I have informal studies in nutrition, Ayurveda, resiliency, and grief work.
