I am a mentor and creative movement extraordinaire.
I started moving my body at a very young age, studying the art of dance throughout my childhood. In my late teens to early 20’ I studied and taught aerobics and gym routines. I also loved to run, training and completing various running events, including a marathon in France in my early 20’s. In my mid 20’s I became a dedicated daily Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga practitioner for over 20 years.
From 1996 I began my yoga journey, studying extensively with Dr Monica Gauci and Gregor Maehle, chintamaniyoga.com, completing my first teacher training in 2002. I continue to study with my teacher and mentor Dr Monica Gauci including various subjects with Gregor Maehle and other senior teachers.
In 2004 I gave birth to my son, which gave me the opportunity to practice yoga throughout my pregnancy, which led me to creating a video production for each stage of pregnancy and mentor teachers in this subject.
In my early forties, due to injury and dysfunctional movement patterns, I started exploring various movement modalities such as (Clinical) Pilates and Functional Movement to retrain my body back to strength and stability. As I entered the (peri) menopausal stage of my life, I started resistant training again due to its advantageous benefits, physically and emotionally.
My classes are a fusion of everything I have studied, (and continue to study) and experience/d. My purpose is to help students be mobile, flexible, stable, and strong.
I teach locally in Perth, Western Australia, and internationally, leading workshops and retreats.
