Graduating from UBC in 2000, I maintain good standings with ICBC and carry great testimonies to help people recover from a MVA (car accidents).

With assisting others to find balance in the body, the first order of business is to create a connection.
Anyone can learn how to heal the body with hard work and determination, however, the hardest thing to do is to practice a consistent daily routine. This is very difficult ask for any human, and I know personally from my own injury, a TBI in 2008, that has inspired me to continue to be a student of life first as I am still humbled to this day when I review how I needed to learn how to walk and talk again.

In my healing, I found my interest evolve from running to something deeper. In the Yoga traditions, yoga is a mind and body practice with various styles that combine physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation or relaxation. Yoga is an ancient practice that may have originated in India and it was brought to the West in 1890's.

I became a yoga teacher specializing in Yin Yoga with its demands of holding the stretches longer while staying connected to the sensations that keep rising and falling. This mindful practice is important as the intensity builds in the tissue when stretching, especially when the posture is held as long as 3 to 5 minutes.

I created other hybrid yoga classes, including Trigger Point Myofascial Release™ and Yindalini Yoga (a gentle version of kundalini yoga, and) studies have shown that in order to release a knotted tissue, the intensity and time is everything.

Understanding that stretching can be dangerous, there's a learning curve within all manners of healing. As a once lover of high action sports, (including running, volleyball and basketball, to name a few) demanding my body to do whatever I asked of it I learned more compassion for myself first and I now have great empathy for my clients. This humbling experience shifts the way we start to experience life in this painful recovery process.

By releasing pain also means to release the dialogue of held trauma in the body. In learning about trigger points back in 2002, and doing bodywork to help my clients find Peace the ability to keep going, I found that teaching others, including yoga teachers, how to release your own trigger points is one thing, however movement is Key. Chronic injury has a learning curve that requires the needs to be gentle, consistent, and daily practice for life. Car accidents and any injury is a gift, because now we have to pay attention of the consistency needed with the body constantly shifting and changing.

Since the pandemic, I also teach ONLINE Yoga Classes and special labs to guide beginners, as well as passionate students with Shiva Cor Academy.

Mission
My main goal is to empower others, and to be Happy and Pain-Free. The Key is Movement. With a simple system, we administer a self-applied trigger point technique followed by a specific long-held stretches with breath-work. This is what I believe to be one of the best-known self-care therapies. We are in this together.
