About
I have been a student of the art of movement from a very early age as I progressed through the levels of Gymnastics in Canada. I was honored to compete on the Canadian National Gymnastics team and earned a berth on Team Alberta. My training and passion in gymnastics grew into a love for practice and refinement. Gymnastics allowed me to feel pure courage and body power; however, Gyrotonic and Qigong is where I began a practice of sensitivities of movement and the refinements of movement.
Gyrotonic Life
- Certified as a master trainer by Juliu Horvath in 2002. I am currently one of only 250 Master Trainers in the World and continue to grow and learn in my practice daily.
- Opened my own studio in 2003 and have been an owner/operator and personal Gyrotonic practitioner since.
- I have helped hundreds of clients find success in practiced movement for improvement of their overall health and wellness.
Qigong Life
- Given permission to teach in 2016 from the Institute for Internal Transformation under Christopher Fernie.
- I also have studied extensively with Master Li-ping Zhu under teachings brought forth by Grandmaster Zhang.
- Heavenly Essence Qigong, was the beginning of my Qigong studies in 2011. This occurred prior to my studies with the Institute of Internal Transformation and my practice has been a passionate and ongoing commitment ever since.
Life and Motherhood
I have an amazing 6 year old, Ruby Jewel, who has taught me life, movement and learning through the essence of a child. Ruby is my biggest and most precious accomplishment. Thanks to her, the strongest lessons have been delivered through my experiences in motherhood and this dynamic and ongoing daily journey. I am honored and grateful to be connecting with all of you and building this program to Be at Home with Ease. This is a profound but still lovely time as we dive into the body for solace. I am committed to growing with you all and evolving on this continuous journey of life.
