I believe that movement has the capacity to change lives; and through mindful movement, it is possible to find balance, build strength and improve mobility to achieve a harmonious state of wellness.

My Pilates journey started in 2002 as an alternative treatment for chronic pain related to scoliosis, a condition I was diagnosed with at a young age causing curvature of the spine.

With guidance from knowledgeable teachers and a deep desire to re-gain control of my body, I learned movement patterns that focused on lengthening my spine and creating strong, connected and balanced muscle integration with lasting effects. My Pilates practice positively influenced my quality of life by transforming the way I experienced movement and allowed me to overcome many barriers that exist with chronic pain. I wanted to share this revelation with the world. In 2011, I started on my path to becoming a teacher so that I could share this knowledge with others. I’ve never looked back since.

I am proud to be a Balanced Body certified Pilates Teacher and practicing member of the British Columbia Association of Kinesiologists. I hold many continuing ed. certifications in the areas of pain management, hip and knee function, lower back and pelvic health, scoliosis and fascial anatomy to name a few.

Movement has been a constant throughout my life and I am grateful for my personal experiences that illuminate my love of teaching and desire to foster a stronger community through movement.

When I’m not nerding out about Pilates, you can find me in nature with my sweet doggo on a trail or a beach or chasing the sunset.

I welcome you whole-heartedly to CIRKL Pilates, where movement sets your stage for wellness.
