My first yoga class was in 2000 with Yoga Trinity's Heather Agnew while I was attending The Toronto School of Homeopathic Medicine. I loved how I felt after each class and was surprised at what my body was both able and unwilling to do! I was hooked. It wasn't until 2009 after the birth of my first daughter, that I took the Yoga Trinity Teacher Training intensive and became a 200hr Teacher. I opened a yoga studio in Kimberley, BC and taught (as well as offered treatments in Bowen Therapy and Osteopathic Manual techniques) for two years before deciding to move to the sunny Okanagan. Since then, I've had two more beautiful children, and have been teaching privately in Summerland, BC. Yoga has been an ebb and flow in my life but always a constant fall back when I feel like my life (and body!) have moved off center
I love what is possible through yoga both physically and mentally. It is my goal as a yoga teacher and healer to help others to find this connection of the mental/emotional and the physical enabling their innate healer within.
.
Also while studying classical homeopathy, I was introduced to Bowen Therapy by one of my teachers. I was amazed when the upper back pain I had experienced since adolescence disappeared after treatment. It was steeped in homeopathic philosophy of using less to create a long lasting results. I didn't have a return of symptoms for many years.
Training I have enjoyed:
When I'm not doing yoga or studying all things health related I spend time homeschooling my 3 children, knitting and creating dolls for Sweetthingshandmade.com

Osteopathic Manual Therapy
Using manual methods, a practitioner of Osteopathy realigns the body. The interrelationship of structures in the body defines how well it can function. Osteopathy is a holistic therapy which regards the integrated whole of the body and manually aids in realigning the structures of the body to relieve pain and imbalance.

Bowen Therapy
Gentle targeted moves and performed on areas of the body that are high junction points for tissues, muscles and other structures. The practitioner often takes "breaks" between these series of moves to allow the body to respond. The Bowen moves trigger a relaxation response in the body via the autonomic nervous system. A Bowen session is both healing and relaxing while being safe for most conditions and ages. (No tailbone work done during pregnancy)

Homeopathic Medicine
Less is More. Homeopaths treat others by looking at the totality of their symptoms and prescribing a homeopathically prepared remedy. Remedies are prepared by diluting and shaking the mixture of natural substances to release their dynamic nature. It is because of this process and repeated dilution that makes homeopathic remedies safe as most material substance has been diluted out. Remedies are selected based on "Like cures Like". The symptoms one may experience on ingesting any known substance can restore health in those suffering from similar symptoms without ingesting the substance.
