About Me
I live and work in a small community on the far east coast of Canada in NB in the unceded territories of the Mi'kmaq.
I have been a student of Hatha and Ashtanga yoga for several years. I am grateful to have learned from teachers who have always emphasized the deeply healing aspects of yoga practice including Manju Jois, and my mentor and teacher, Jody Manley, who I have been working with since 2012. I also owe my continued personal and professional growth to the wisdom and support from the teachers and trainers at the Centre for Trauma & Embodiment and Ajna Yoga Therapy College.
I currently practice from Atlantic Yoga Therapy and work as an intern psychotherapist at Atlantic Wellness Inc. As my teaching practice develops, I continue to be interested in the intersection and integration of psychodynamic psychology, somatic therapeutic modalities, and the energetics of traditional yoga systems as they relate to spiritual and psychological health.
About My Service
I offer services through my business, Atlantic Yoga Therapy and currently support students who are interested in developing or sustaining a traditional Ashtanga yoga practice. Teachings are offered in alignment with the lineage of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, Manju Jois, Nancy Gilgoff, and Jody Manley.
Additionally, I offer Trauma-Centre Trauma Sensitive Yoga, and combine a variety of approaches to support students with physical therapy, post-partum healing, C-PTSD and challenges around mental health, shame, and embodiment.
