Physical activity has always been a part of my life and comes quite naturally to me. 

I successfully climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in October 2007.  On the last day of this adventure of a lifetime, I gained an even greater appreciation for my body,  resolving to continue to take utmost care of it. In the spring of 2009, my daughter invited me to a Nia class that Martha Randall came to teach in Ottawa. This experience was like love at first sight.  I was smitten with the freedom to be in my body and enjoy moving in a way that I remember moving as a little girl, so so long ago. A few short months later,  I jumped at the opportunity to attend the White Belt training with my daughter. Suddenly, an entirely new world opened up for me. When  a local Nia teacher was desperate for someone to sub for her, I nervously accepted the challenge and began teaching in January of 2010.  In April of 2011, I received my Green Belt Certification in Toronto and also trained with Debbie Rosas on Nia  52 moves.I attended the Blue Belt intensive training with Helen Terry in Santa Fe in Dec. 2012. 

I teach Nia to people of all ages,various fitness levels, body shapes and sizes, whether they are looking to become and be fit, lose weight, or just feel comfortable in their body as it is today.  I offer Nia workshops and presentations as well as demonstrations for companies and special groups. Please get in touch with me should you know of any such opportunities. 

I am so grateful to have discovered Nia, and I feel priviledged to  share Nia’s many healing benefits with others and to inspire them to enjoy a lifestyle of fitness,  health and wellness.
