ABOUT

ABOUT

IMG_1439.jpg

My path to becoming a therapist and wellness facilitator has been a vibrant tapestry of yoga, dance, and holistic practices. My love affair with yoga and dance began in my teenage years. After a brief hiatus, I returned to yoga to combat the stress of my undergraduate studies in Dance at York University. My yoga journey led me to the Modo Yoga community, where I completed my 500hr Modo Teacher Training in Kelowna BC in 2018. My commitment to holistic well-being deepened as I completed various other yoga trainings, including Kids Yoga Teacher certification, Trauma-informed Yoga training, Modo Calm Yin and Restorative Yoga training, and Modo Flow Vinyasa Yoga training.

My quest for holistic healing didn't stop there. In 2020, I delved into Mystical Numerology, followed by Breathwork and Mantra/Chanting practices in 2021, recognizing the diverse needs of my clients, especially during the pandemic. The culmination of my extensive training journey led me to graduate from Pratt Institute's Dance/Movement Therapy Masters of Science program in 2022, where I became a Registered Dance/Movement Therapist. I worked closely with adolescents and youth, specializing in facilitating group and individual therapy with youth who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+. Currently, I am on the path to becoming a Canadian Certified Counsellor and Registered Psychotherapist, further expanding my qualifications in 2023.

My approach to therapy, yoga teaching, and wellness is infused with curiosity and an open heart. My classes and treatments provide a nurturing space where individuals are empowered with the tools for their own healing journeys. I encourage my clients to embrace life with child-like freedom, enabling them to express their authentic selves in every moment. I believe in the profound connection of mental, spiritual, and physical health. I welcome all individuals with an open heart and an accepting embrace of whatever they bring to the healing space. Whether you seek yoga, dance therapy, reiki, or counseling, I am here to guide you on your path to holistic well-being.

Dance/Movement Therapy

Dance movement therapy (DMT) is based on the premise that thoughts, feelings and the experience of self are expressed through the body and movement. It is a relational process that integrates emotional, cognitive, physical and social aspects of self.

 

The DMT approach incorporates knowledge from psychotherapeutic approaches, psychology, sensorimotor and developmental movement, movement analysis and neuroscience. The elements of dance (body awareness, rhythm, time, space, gesture, posture, dynamics) are applied as a framework for exploration, discovery, learning and change. DMT focuses on movement behaviour as it emerges in the therapeutic relationship. Expressive, communicative, and adaptive behaviours are all considered for group and individual treatment.  Body movement, as the core component of dance, simultaneously provides the means of assessment and the mode of intervention.
