MY STORY
It started with curiosity.
My journey with Yoga and Ayurveda began in the most unexpected ways... a college professor teaching the art of standing with purpose, a morning TV program that had me putting down the bowl of Rice Krispies and pushing the coffee table aside, and a deep curiosity that led me from fitness training to marathon running to a small studio called Breathing Space Yoga. That studio sparked something in me, eventually leading me to India, where I immersed myself in the teachings of Sivananda Yoga and was introduced to Ayurveda.
But it wasn't until years later, after a cancer diagnosis just months after becoming a mother, that these practices became the foundation of my healing, my resilience, and my way of life.
THE PRACTICE
Yoga didn't just change how I move. It changed how I live.
Yoga and Ayurveda have been my anchors — not only in my personal journey, but in motherhood, in loss, in renewal, and in the beautiful mess of everyday life. They taught me a whole new level of compassion and empathy. The art of truly listening — not just to others, but to my own inner wisdom.
I've learned to hold space for both stillness and chaos. To teach healthy boundaries while embodying patience. To navigate the tender balance of nurturing others while also caring for myself.
My practice is not just about movement. It's about coming home to yourself. Whether I'm on my mat, walking in the woods, or in the middle of a busy day with my family, I return to my breath, my centre, and the lessons these ancient traditions have given me.
It's this lived experience that shapes how I teach.
HOW I TEACH
Not just postures. Tools for life.
In my classes, workshops, and retreats, I create space for women to pause, breathe, and reconnect. I weave in philosophy, Ayurveda, mantra, and humour, because life is serious enough, and sometimes a good laugh really is the best medicine.
My hope is that every woman who works with me walks away not only feeling replenished and strong, but with a deeper awareness of her own power. The power to heal, to grow, and to live with intention.
THE HUMAN BEHIND THE TEACHER
A few things you should know about me.
When I'm not teaching, you'll find me creating, painting, crocheting, baking. I train in Taekwondo. I belt out mantras and 80s classics with equal enthusiasm. I cherish quiet moments with my family, and I am fully devoted to my dog and his daily routine of walking through the woods.
I'm a mom and stepmom, a wife, a student, and a teacher, in that order and all at once. I'm on a mission to help women make Yoga and Ayurveda a way of life. Not as something extra to do, but as a path to living fully, with health, joy, and presence.
I truly look forward to inspiring and helping you live your best life.
See you on the mat soon.
