Over the years, I have worked in the service field, as an Educational Assistant in Special Ed, as a Home Daycare Provider, and then I returned to school to become an Esthetician in 2007. I have had the pleasure of serving many wonderful clients and I am grateful for their loyalty and friendship.
Wishing to offer more benefit to my clients, I have returned to school part-time a few times, increasing my skills and broadening my services. In 2013 I became a certified Reflexologist through the Ontario College of Reflexology and in 2016 I was certified in Facial AcuZone Reflexology.
In 2018, with the full support of my husband, I returned to part-time school again and fulfilled my longtime dream of becoming a Yoga Teacher (RYT200). I was privileged to take my training with Anne Ryan of Inner Quiet Yoga. In March of 2021, I became a Reiki Master and in December 2021, I completed a 50 hour Ayurveda Immersion course. Ayurveda is in sisterhood with yoga and informs my classes as well as treatment offerings. In December 2022, I was officially certified in Chair Yoga Dance, (through Yoga Vista Academy) which is not only fun, but a fantastic way to improve balance, coordination, strength, cardio, memory and cognitive function. In July, 2023 I completed a 200 hour Essential Somatic Movement Teacher Training, in the tradition of Hanna Somatics, with the amazing Sharon Smith-Carter as my mentor. This technique is a powerful resource for creating change in brain to muscle connection to restore ease of movement and comfort in bodies that carry pain and asymmetry.
I have also taken additional trainings in yoga and neuroscience, yoga for mental wellbeing, meditation, the anatomy of aging, & more. There's always more to learn!
Education has always been an important part of my life. The more I learn, the more tools I have to help my clients and students find balance, relaxation and ease of movement in their lives--I believe this is where true health lives.
After working in Bridgenorth and Peterborough for a few years, I moved my business back home, near Omemee, Ontario, in July 2021. From our cottage-like setting, I offer skin care services, reflexology, Reiki, group and private yoga, somatic and meditation sessions. In the online store you will find pre-recorded classes and meditations (with more to come) so you can continue your self-care at home, at your own pace.
Whether you see me in the treatment room, or on the mat/chair, my goal is the same-- to support you and your health, helping you to feel better, move better, and age well.
