As a yoga teacher, therapist (C-IAYT Candidate) , and educator, I delve into the mysteries of the holistic therapeutic approach integrating Western & Eastern approaches to healing.
I began my yoga journey when I was 16 years old and soon realized that the highlight of my day was that precious hour spent in a cozy yoga room, breathing and moving consciously, connecting with my soul.
I blend my background in gender history and philosophy with a passion for yoga, and neuroscience which plays a meaningful role in the mindful and therapeutic style of my teaching. I intertwine it with pranayama, yoga philosophy, and anatomy to take the physical practice on a journey of inner awareness and acceptance.

Always looking for new activities I discovered yoga in 2009 and was literally floored. My mind, body, and soul felt in peace; I knew I wanted to teach and learn more in the future. It wasn’t until a personal traumatic experience I knew it was time to take that plunge into teaching. My desire was wanting to return to myself and expand my knowledge to help guide others. I started teaching classes at the YWCA and private clients one-on-one. My passion to help shift stagnant emotion whether it be on the surface, attached to an injury or within your nervous system had me search for more education to broaden my scope and that is what brought me to the Vancouver School of Healing Arts. I have a playful energetic approach in therapy sessions; with your guidance and my intuition I invite you in seeking your own path to calming you mind, body, spirit and finding your way back to self.
