First and foremost, I am a mother — but long before that, there was a journey of becoming and unbecoming, shedding layers of who I was not in order to return to the essence of who I am.

The roots of my expression begin with rhythm. I’ve been playing drums and percussion since I was 11 — from marching band to high school musicals to studying the drum kit. Music was my first language and has always had a strong grip on me. As I moved into college, I picked up string instruments for the ease of movement, always craving a way to carry sound with me.

Movement itself has always been a driving force in my life. From gymnastics, boxing, and jiu-jitsu to team sports — I’ve always sought ways to embody energy and stay connected to the wisdom of my physical body.

For over a decade, I worked as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic, having earned a diploma in that field. But something deeper was calling. When I took my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in British Columbia, it changed the trajectory of my life forever. It brought me back to the version of myself I had almost forgotten — the one who dreamed of helping others heal and come home to themselves.

Since then, I’ve taught yoga across the Fraser Valley, sharing classes and workshops in studios, community events, and fundraisers — even accompanying yoga classes with live music for Lululemon and the BC Cancer Society.

I’ve continued to deepen my knowledge through training in meditation, chanting, inversions, fitness theory, and weightlifting, and I’m currently enrolled in a Yin Yoga certification.

Sound has remained a constant thread — a fascination turned devotion. I followed this curiosity to the Kootenay Sound Healing Center, where I began studying Acutonics. I’ve completed Levels I and II and continue my studies with the intention of becoming a certified Acutonics Practitioner.

For the past eight years, I’ve held space for people to move, to feel, to reconnect. I’ve guided hundreds through yoga and sound healing — and each session, each soul, has reminded me why I do this work.

I’m deeply inspired by what’s possible today, and what is still to come. I hope we meet somewhere in the stillness, in the silence, in movement, or in sound.
