Advanced Certified BodyTalk Practitioner,

Certified BodyTalk Instructor,

BodyTalk Access Trainer,

RP-CRA, BA

My fascination with BodyTalk has developed over many years of studying the dynamics of the human body through movement. I graduated from the University of Waterloo in 1992 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Dance. I have been working as a professional Ballroom dancer for the past 17 years performing, teaching, adjudicating and running a very successful dance studio.

I felt myself being drawn to the healing arts and began studies to certify as a nutritional advisor and personal trainer. Further fascination with energy medicine led me to study Reiki and train to become a Reiki Master. My continued studies have included Myofascial and Cranial Sacral Release, Lymphatic Drainage, Applied Kinesiology, TCM and Teishin Therapy.

I was introduced to BodyTalk in 2007 and felt an immediate connection with this very powerful yet non-invasive system of healing. In April of 2008 I completed all advanced BodyTalk Modules and passed my advanced exams to become an AdvCBP. My passion for teaching inspired me to train to become a BodyTalk Access trainer as well as a Certified BodyTalk Instructor. I take great joy in having the opportunity to share this incredible system of health care with my clients and students alike.

Having spent over 20 years studying dance and working with elite athletes and artists, I see an incredible potential for the use of BodyTalk and its techiques in the industry of sports and performance. My background has also taught me the importance of mastering the basics whether it be in dance, sport or language. As a result, my teaching style focuses on understanding the language of the BodyTalk system and establishing a confident mastery of the basics. My goal is to provide my students with clarity and confidence in utilizing the tools provided by the BodyTalk and BodyTalk Access systems.

Through my BodyTalk practice I enjoy helping my clients to reach their full potential in health, well being and performance!
