Yoga has gifted me with thousands of hours of peace, introspection, challenge, growth, and liberation since I began practicing on my mat as a teenager. I started yoga to heal chronic back pain and stumbled upon the profound mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits of the practice. This served me greatly during a very challenging time in my life. Now, over a decade later, my primary focus as a teacher is to create a welcoming and accepting space for you to breathe, connect, and release. Over the years, students have described my classes as incredibly relaxing, healing, and peaceful. This warms my heart.

I completed my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training in 2015 with Mugs McConnel through SOYA (South Okanagan Yoga Academy). I started teaching in Antigonish at a local yoga studio and at St. FX University. Upon completing my degree in Business Marketing, I returned to Calgary, where I taught several yoga classes a week at a studio near my home. I also taught at schools, senior homes, recreation centers, healing centers, and businesses.

I had a desire to learn more about meditation, which led me to complete a six-month Primordial Sound Meditation Teacher Training with Deepak Chopra through the Chopra Center. Upon completion, I began hosting ‘Learn How to Meditate’ workshops. I also taught personal Primordial Sound Mantras for meditating with, based on birth date, time, and location. The main benefits are inner peace, stress relief, and healing from the past.

To expand my knowledge over the years, I’ve completed additional training in yin yoga, sequencing, adjustments, and pranayama (breathing techniques), as well as certifications in Emotion Code Energy Healing and Ecstatic Dance. I love bringing people together and creating unforgettable experiences. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy spending my time cooking, baking, gardening, reading fantasy books, and connecting with loved ones.
