“A human being is a work of art - from head to toe and from thought to voice.”
Helene Cixous

I help people learn how to listen to, expand and navigate the unique terrain of their embodied experience. By paying attention and directing awareness into our bodies, we can increase our depth of understanding, and begin to take responsibility for our own health and well being.

About me: I am a yoga teacher, movement educator and massage therapist. I began practicing yoga and dancing concurrently in 1996 and have been exploring the ground of embodied experience ever since. Techniques I have studied intensively include Bodymind Centreing (BMC); Feldenkrais, Craniosacral Therapy; Ideokinesis; Yoga (Ashtanga, Iyengar, Hatha, Vinyasa flow); Contemporary Dance and Massage Therapy. In 2011 I completed a practice based PhD about movement as a practice of attention, and building awareness of the body’s internal states.

My work as an educator, therapist and artist, has given me humour, made me attentive and expanded my perception. My lifelong commitment to experiential understanding has been based upon noticing the ways in which we use, hold and carry ourselves, and how these patterns affect us. This simple yet profound journey has been supported with a thorough structural and functional anatomical understanding gained from years of continuous study.

I have been privileged to work with a large variety of bodies in creative, educational and therapeutic settings, and to observe the miracle of the life processes that are happening within us. I delight in the pragmatism and specificity of watching and helping bodies navigate their way through the world, and in helping people better understand the miracle of the ongoing work of art that they are.
