I am a 500-hour certified yoga teacher, a plant-based holistic nutritionist, a Reiki practitioner, and a trained wellness coach. Currently, I am a Yoga Therapist and C-IAYT candidate at the Vancouver School of Healing Arts. I hold certifications in vinyasa, yin, restorative, adaptive, and trauma-informed yoga.
I fell in love with the practice of yoga in 2010 because it allowed me to cultivate self-awareness and mindfulness in my life. Since then, I have continuously learned and taught yoga. My hope is to continue sharing this beautiful practice as a teacher, therapist, and yoga teacher trainer.
My Therapeutic Yoga expertise includes:
- Improving strength and mobility
- Stress release and relaxation
- Mental health support
- Hands-on support and assists
- Breathing exercises/pranayama
- Incorporating mindful practices
- Pain management
- Seniors
As an island girl from the tropics, I love being under the sun and on the beach. When I'm not teaching, you can find me in the kitchen whipping up some vegan dishes, taking a nice walk, or in a cafe sipping a good cup of oat cappuccino with an inspiring book that feeds the soul.

Yoga Therapist
My therapeutic sessions are supportive, mindful, and grounding, with plenty of room for curiosity and self-inquiry. I am passionate about supporting people in their healing journeys in a holistic way—through movement, yoga, plant-based nutrition, and mindful practices. I believe that the mind-body-spirit connection is key to a peaceful and content life.
