Background in movement and instruction: “I started dancing at 8 years old and have not stopped moving since. I trained in all forms of dance and continued into university where I obtained a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Dance from Simon Fraser University.  I was introduced to Pilates when my kids were small and found that the Pilates training was an amazing complement to the dance training and teaching I was doing. The discipline of the Pilates technique appealed to the dancer in me and I worked to get my Stott Pilates certification in mat. As an avid learner, I have gone on to complete yearly training in Portland, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver. I have completed training in reformer, Cadillac, chair and barrels. I love working with clients to help them achieve their movement goals both inside and outside the Pilates studio.

Biggest transformational moment of the last year:“Having my 30 year marriage come to an abrupt end.  I have been on a journey to travel a path that is mine to own and truly embracing what matters to me most: family, faith, friends, honesty and integrity.”

Someone who inspires you: “I have had a number of women clients in their 70’s and early 80’s that inspire me so much.  They are joyful and adventurous, and they take care of themselves so that they can continue to have fun and live life to the fullest.  They are examples of what it means to be resilient and life long learners.  Lastly, they are beautiful embodiments of what it means to have generous spirits and loving hearts.”

Favourite playlist to move to: “As a dancer, my playlist is long and changes all the time.  I love anything that I can dance to and it is even better if I can sing along.”
