All my life I have had anxiety, my mom would have me join her while she followed yoga recordings on video cassettes. It wasn’t until I moved to Calgary in 2000 that I attended my first formal yoga class. I remember leaving class like I was walking 2 feet off the ground. I was hooked! Yoga, meditation and Reiki continues to help me cope with high anxiety. In my 11 years of experience I have training in Raja and Hatha yoga traditions, teaching children, meditation and Reiki. My focus in class is to create a safe atmosphere where the student can slow down, connect movement with breath, listen to the subtle information that comes from the internal world, quiet the mind and notice the flow of change. It is in this space that we heal. I understand that their are times in our lives that a group class may not work for us. I have worked in both group and private class settings. I am excited about this opportunity to work with students 1;1 or in smaller groups. I look forward to create a class that is catered to your needs. I believe that all bodies and constitutions can enjoy the practice of yoga, meditation and Reiki. In class we work with the tools of mantra, breath, movement and meditation. I bring the healing power of Reiki into my yoga class to promote a healthy flow of energy that calms the nervous system. I look forward to speaking to you.

Seeking to broaden my expertise, I continued my education at The School of Homeopathy in the UK and later transitioned to the Ontario College of Homeopathic Medicine. Alongside my pursuit of homeopathic knowledge, I also expanded my studies by completing Ayurveda Studies at the School of Health. This additional training allowed me to integrate Ayurvedic principles into my practice, providing a diverse array of modalities to help my clients. Throughout my learning experience, I’ve had the incredible opportunity of studying under esteemed homeopaths such as; Misha Norland, Jeremy Sherr, David Mundy, Dinesh Chauhan, Pat Deacon, Joy Burlton, Dr. Julek, Dr. Elisabeth, and many others. Their guidance has enriched my understanding of homeopathy’s principles and diverse methodologies. I offer Constitutional Treatment, emphasizing a holistic approach to healing by considering the entire individual rather than just the disease. Moreover, I’ve incorporated the Sensation Method into my practice, aiming to tap into the unique energy within each person, shaping their health and well-being on profound levels.
