My superpower is teaching the bodies in front of me. Helping individuals find their unique path to health and wellness. By leading them through a journey they will want to continue, because it feels amazing to awaken their body, mind, and soul. This is conscious, intelligent, health and fitness.

Health education and fitness are my life’s work. My personal health journey is filled with challenges, from autoimmune disease and living with a total colectomy, to a chronic gut-brain imbalance and musculoskeletal disease. Over 35 years of practice and trauma work, I have learned how to successfully manage and improve my own health challenges. My goal is to share this wisdom with others through teaching.

What lights me up is empowering others in their health journey. To bare witness to the “lightbulb moments," when they see results and realize they are in control of their own health journey. My favorite compliment from client's, “I still hear your voice cueing me and cheering me on, even after all these years!”

What are your favorite Retreat Venues around the world

Facilitating Retreats is my goal at this stage of my career.

What's your personal definition of what it means to thrive?

I always say, “you have survived, now its time to thrive.”

Who do you look up to ? Who has helped you the most along your teacher / retreat leader journey?

There are several individuals who have supported and inspired my journey as a teacher. - Sally Phelps, talented and wise psychotherapist. Sally helped me reparent myself and gave me the emotional tool bag to overcome many life traumas and continue to grow and help others along the way. - Doctor Daniel Dernay Chiropractor, Functional Neurology. Dr D's passion for healing and helping others, even as his own body declined with MS, is a constant inspiration. - Doctor Peter Mc Duff, Chiropractor and Functional Neurology. Dr. Peter's limitless kindness, humor, and passion for helping others heal has been an invaluable resource in my own health journey. - Amanda Allen. Amanda's amazing strength at overcoming many physical and emotional hardships and her continued passion, love and light for helping others continually inspires me. - Brene Brown. Her work on shame and leadership has changed my life. - Thich Nhat Hanh. His teachings and insights, especially on reconciliation of your inner child and fear, have changed my life. - The many teachings of Buddha. Especially the guidance to always be kind and have compassion for all beings.
