i hold space for us to remember the intelligence within, and to let that wisdom guide the way we live.

my personal experience has led me to this work. anxiety was my reliable sidekick from early on and faithfully stuck around for a long time.

this, along with struggling against my body and my sensitive and empathic nature, were aspects of me i wanted to part from and i did my best to do so. it wasn’t a conscious experience, but i abandoned this confusing body, and dissociated from it as best as i could.

my approach however led to further and deeper patterns of disordered eating, more anxiety and a few bouts of depression. by the time I was in my 20’s i had a certificate in tourism and was circling in a loop of working in restaurants and traveling with zero idea of my direction in life.

toronto, where i was living at the time, felt like a concrete jungle of noise, smells, no sky, and few friends. i thought success was in this city, but i only felt sad, anxious, and lost.

it was my pattern to physically remove myself from problems, so after a year of trying to fit in, i heard about an organic farm in costa rica and left within a month.

it was there that i took my first yoga class in a palm hut during a rain storm. it was the most uncomfortable, sticky, awkward class. but when it was finally over i realized it was the first time in a long time where i felt light, spacious and calm.

i stayed there for a year, where the wifi was unreliable, and i found some used books on yoga. i practiced the poses for an hour every day and revelled in the many ways i was benefiting from this practice.

living on the tropical farm, along with preparing the fresh organic food in communal kitchens with fellow workers softened my connection to eating and food. instead of running away from myself i was finally settling into who i was.

that experience set me on a new trajectory. back in ontario, i enrolled in yoga teacher training and after completing it, moved to vancouver where i eventually registered to become a holistic nutritionist and a practitioner of eating psychology.

i live with my husband and two kids in north vancouver - now surrounded by the northern rainforest. life, of course, continues to challenge me with many more life lessons but also it brought a fulfillment and love i hadn’t experienced before.

i am a sensitive soul and still manage feelings of anxiety daily. but the foundation i have built over the years of nature, people, and practices, along with living a live more aligned with who i am (not who i think i should be) provides the support i need to move through difficult moments or days. i don’t cope with life through using food anymore which is a lovely relief for my self and my body.

now i am most committed and passionate about creating opportunities and spaces for others to come home to themselves. to allow time and space to move from our mind to our hearts. many of us have unconsciously disconnected from our body, our feelings and ourselves - but this is also where all the magic lives, our intuition, our inspiration our guidance system.

i hope to bring more lost souls home to where they are happiest, in their own body.
