Pilates has been and continues to be many things for me. In some pretty dark times it was a physical practice I could turn to and a community I could be completely vulnerable inside of. In one of the hardest transitions of my life, it gave me a sense of identity and purpose when dance could no longer fill that role. To be honest, it has been like glue in my life, and I don’t just mean holding my body together, but helping to strengthen my mind, build up my self-confidence and embrace me when I fall apart. The practice is incredible and the people I have met through my study and in the sharing of this work have been lights in my life and have helped to shape who I am today, just as dance did for so many years before that. 

As a teacher what I offer is the culmination of my dance journey, 35years in the making and filled with many techniques, approaches, and ways of thinking about and embodying movement; thousands of hours of Pilates study and practice; and my newer forays into a greater understanding of fascia, biomechanics and the nervous system. I spent my last year on the coast working at a pelvic health clinic as a Physio Assistant and that experience deepened my love of working with folks navigating the perinatal period. My best teachers have been humble and endlessly curious; I strive to stay as present and open as they are.

I am excited for this new chapter in Revelstoke and the opportunity to share my passion for movement with the beautiful community here.

If you’re looking for me outside the Pilates studio, I can be found kiting, biking, skiing, and generally, hanging with my partner getting lost in nature. You can also find me cuddling with our two kittens, Rosie and Reggie, and our puppy, Loki, or perhaps rummaging around in the garden, or in the kitchen baking and cooking - although once a dancer, always a dancer, so I might just be having a good ol’ fashioned kitchen dance party.
