About
I am a yoga instructor, creator and female embodiment coach based out of Squamish, BC. I teach public yoga classes throughout the Sea to Sky Corridor (check schedule for locations) and work one-on-one with women to help you connect to a deeper understanding of who you are, how you relate to yourself and what you desire. My work focuses on concerns related to body image/acceptance, food and exercise addiction, and issues with intimacy and sexual empowerment.
My road to development in this line of work has been the result of a multitude of personal and professional experience in female specific bodywork, pelvic floor health, movement practices, and spatial self-awareness. Over the years, these influences have guided me to develop an acute fascination with the way we interact with and experience ourselves in the world. Having struggled with body dysmorphia, eating disorders and low self esteem in my past, I am passionate about guiding and supporting others on their journey to self empower. I believe we all hunger for a level of depth and fulfillment in our lives that cannot be reached until we first address how to live in our skin.
I have earned over 700 Hours of registered Yoga Alliance teaching certifications, along with various bodywork specialties (Reiki, Craniosacral and pelvic floor scar tissue remediation healing). I hold a BA in Art History from the University of British Columbia, a Graduate Diploma in Interior and Spatial Design from IDS London, along with various qualifications in Painting and Drawing from Parsons School of Design, New York.
