A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

I’ve taught yoga, natural movement, and fitness for years—helping others move with ease and age gracefully.

I’m curious about belonging, design, ritual, activism, wellness, rest, and all the intersections of body, art, and spirit.

I create Earth Altars and Tiny Hand Collages as a way to honour beauty and impermanence.

I’m a mix of contradictions—impulsive and empathetic, skeptical and goofy, intuitive and curious—and always learning.

I’ve trained in several meditation traditions—most recently Awake in the Wild—deepening my connection to nature through outdoor practice.

When I’m not working, I’m either making stuff, reading, playing sports, hiking, walking Carmen the dog or enjoying our cabin in the Gatineau Hills.

I’ve travelled widely and love sharing what I’ve learned while dreaming up new adventures.

I’m a fourth-generation Canadian, married for 20+ years, with three sons.
