All beings are composed of waves of energy which give us our own unique natural rhythm.

I found my groove and natural rhythm through Nia.  A Brown Belt Nia Instructor, I have been practicing Nia for 11 years and teaching for 5 years. Nia introduced my body to freedom, and taught me to love and respect myself more deeply and fully. My goal in sharing my joy for Nia is to create such a fun and exhilarating experience for my students that they leave with an overall sense of well-being. I get a infusion of life by offering intense, sweaty, high energy, dynamic and free spirited Nia classes!  My tight connection to the music and movement help me create MAGIC!

My students have described me as an enthusiastic, energetic "firecracker" who is full of life. I have been referred to as a dedicated, passionate, welcoming, approachable and gifted Nia instructor with a positive and confident ability to inspire students to jump right in and make the most of themselves.

My students say that I am a relaxed yet motivating teacher who gives clear instructions and is great at providing modifications for all fitness levels. My students have mentioned that I have a warmth and aliveness which make the classes so fun that they hardly notice how hard they are working out!

One student remarked:  “This is the most fun exercising I've ever had in my adult life".

In addition to teaching Nia, I also maintain a private Speech-Language Pathology practice working with adults recovering from brain injury, stroke and other neurological issues.  I'm excited to currently be leading Nia sessions for seniors as part of a research study being led the Royal Conservatory of Music, Baycrest Health Centre and Toronto Rehab Institute called “Exploring the Impact of Artful Engagement With Older Adults”.
