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.
