Me along my journey...
short and simple...
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.
