about

How it all started

My trip on the mind-body-brain healing and teaching path was kick-started in 2001 by a series of debilitating knee injuries that forced me to relearn how the body– and my body, in particular – is really meant to move.

Through this experience, I came to believe that human beings must learn, find growth and heal using methods and modalities that recognize the entire body, and, most importantly, that recognize how this body interacts with its environment, people, circumstances and all that life brings.

My training

Beyond my academic training – I have a Bachelor’s in Exercise Science and a Master’s in Research in the Health Sciences – I am also a Certified Practitioner of both Feldenkrais and Somatic Experiencing.

My work draws from both of these practices, with Feldenkrais providing knowledge of potent human movement and how to teach it, and Somatic Experiencing providing insight about the healing of our very intricate nervous systems.

My work

Combining these modalities (Feldenkrais and Somatic Experiencing) with my academic knowledge gives me a versatile toolset for helping people learn self-care, resilience and awareness through movement.

I live and practice in Whistler and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

I also work with individuals all over the world via Skype.
