I am a dedicated yoga, health, and wellness educator with more than fifteen years of teaching experience and over 500 hours of advanced yoga training. My yoga journey began in 2009, but my connection to the practice started earlier—rooted in my own physical challenges, chronic pain, and a specific disc injury. What initially drew me to yoga for physical healing quickly evolved into a deep appreciation for the psychological, emotional, and lifestyle principles that make yoga a holistic and transformative way of living.

Before fully stepping into yoga education, I first became a certified Personal Fitness Trainer through YogaFit. This foundation in fitness eventually led me into Group Fitness instruction, which I embraced fully and continue to teach today. These early years in fitness shaped my understanding of movement, alignment, and the importance of accessible wellness for all bodies.In 2009, I completed my 200‑hour Yoga Teacher Training with YogaFit, followed by YogaFit for Warriors, a specialized program focused on mental health, resilience, and trauma‑informed approaches. Prior to this, I also completed foundational coursework through the Maureen Rae Teacher Training program in Ontario, which helped build the base of my teaching approach.

My commitment to learning has only grown over the years. I have accumulated more than 500 hours of yoga teacher training and am currently enrolled in the 800‑hour Yoga Therapy Program at the Prana Shanti Yoga Education Center in Ottawa.

Yoga therapy is the professional application of yoga within a therapeutic relationship to support health and wellbeing. It includes personalized assessments, goal setting, lifestyle management strategies, and yoga‑based practices tailored for healing, personal growth, and group support.

My training also extends into bodywork and functional movement. I am certified in Thai Yoga Massage through the Lotus Palm School in Montreal and have completed Myofascial Release training with Yoga Tune Up® Fitness. Staying committed to growth, I continue to take at least two additional courses every year.

Throughout my career, I have taught one‑on‑one sessions, large group classes, corporate wellness programs—including a long‑standing partnership with Pineridge Hollow—and a variety of workshops. I also lead yoga and wellness retreats locally in Manitoba, across Canada, and internationally. Most recently, I hosted a sold‑out retreat in Costa Rica with 26 participants.At my core, I remain a lifelong student. Yoga has supported my body, transformed my mind, and shaped my life. I am passionate about sharing this multidimensional practice with others—creating informed, safe, and supportive spaces where people can move, breathe, heal, and grow in their personal journey.
