Tarot Reader Meditation Yoga Bodywork
About me
I fell in love with the mind/body connection over 30 years ago and have been exploring, building & honing skills in that area every since. My love of the physical lead me to become an RMT and Craniosacral Therapist. My love of Mind has been rooted in a mindfulness meditation practise spanning 30+ years with many teachers and traditions including Jack Kornfield, and Ken McLeod. I am a Certified Holotropic Breathwork Practioner, which studies and facilitates non-ordinary states of consciousness. I am a Yoga Teacher, and a Certified Sacred Center Teacher under Anodea Judith.
My gentle approach brings together yoga, meditation, group process and trance.
One of the biggest driving forces for me has been to inspire students to explore deeper layers within themselves. I try to bring ancient and timeless spiritual understandings into a form relevant in todays world. For example, I pair together anatomical principals with energetic wisdom through language that is body orientated and emphasizes awareness.
Since moving up to Muskoka I have ignited a passion for foraging and herbalism. I have been studying and learning now for three years,
and I love to go out "bushwaking" as I call it.
I want to share what I have learned and bring it alive for you.
