I was given the gift of breathwork and meditation as a child by her Mother, and discovered what I now knows as Somato-Emotional Release (moving emotions through our body). Having these tools enabled me to stay present in my body and work through experiences (and potential-trauma) as they came, so as to not store them in her body. As a result, I have been able to be resilient, and stay aligned with my intuition and gifts – my gloWithin.
I am a Highly Sensitive introvert (which also poses interesting challenges in parenting), and am passionate about being active in nature. I love the arts (music, dance, creating), and am a life-long learner.
As a teen I recognized our current way of living was not conducive to thriving families and generations, which inspired me (to finally 12 years later) begin Studio 202, a healing community space for families in North Vancouver, Canada. In 2020 I closed this space and took my offerings online with my Children's Yoga School, and guiding parents and educators.
I work with many organizations to include; Mamas for Mamas, Motherly, Mosaic BC, Westcoast Childcare Resources, School Districts in BC, The Baby Spot, Yoga Outreach and more! My Children's Yoga (Social-Emotional Learning) Cards are a Mom’s Choice Awards® Gold Recipient!
