My Journey
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right-doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.”

Conscious Movement Guide
Join me on a collaborative journey to reconnect and rebuild your foundational movements. You'll cultivate a refined relationship with your body’s innate intelligence.
Movement has served as my medicine, throughout my life. Once in motion my body and mind merge into a state of conscious being. Athletic endeavours served as my means for cultivating stamina, strength and power in my body, mind and spirit. As my yoga and meditation practices became integral to my health and well-being, “from a place of joy” arose as my mantra, for life. I journeyed west and chose to be powerful, courageous and free. My life has sweetly unfolded from this place and my conscious movement offerings embody my ever-evolving relationship with movement as medicine. I am called to guide you towards a deeper relationship with your own lived body. Intentional shifts in your body, mind and spirit will serve as your doorway to cultivating more clarity, stamina, balance and strength in your entire being.
“She knows the body, understands movement and listens intently to understand you. From there, she can break down exactly “what" and “why" and help you move towards healing. She is patient, kind and incredibly passionate about her work.”
-Kasia Martin

My Training
My own personal journey has equipped me with the knowledge and tools to meet you wherever you are and guide you back to pain free play. My formal training started with fitting folks for running shoes and observing their running mechanics on a treadmill. In 2013, 5 Gems Yoga 200 TT I became a student of yoga and cultivated my foundation for my heart centric, alignment based teaching approach. I applied my knowledge as a PT Aide at SPORT Physical Therapy and learned the art and science of helping folks recover from injury. In 2015, I honed my teaching skills through Kula Yoga Vinyasa 200 TT and soon after became a N.A.S.M. Certified Personal Trainer and became a Rehab Trainer for SPORT PT. In 2017, I joined the TAC Fitness team as a Functional Movement Coach and noticed that my language was the key to unlocking my students true potential. I enrolled In Interdisciplinary Movement & Somatics Program, an on-line year-long journey into movement exploration through the lens of somatic inquiry and emerged with a refined understanding for the mental, physical and emotional aspects of our healing process. I then earned my N.A.S.M. Corrective Exercise Specialist certification, teaching me the skill of crafting programming designed to bring the body back to balance. A car accident in 2018 left me shaken and groundless. I regained my spiritual footing by participating in True Nature Healing Arts Yoga 200 TT and acquired a deeper relationship with pranayama practices, mudras and subtle body exploration through breath and movement. Through my own life experiences and formal education I have cultivated an intimate relationship with the complexities of recovering from injury. I understand that you are embarking on a healing journey and I’d be honored to be your guide..
