In a nutshell…
For over 30 years, my career has been dedicated to promoting community health and wellness. I've owned a fitness center and yoga studios, developed and directed fitness and yoga teacher training programs, and facilitated yoga retreats both domestically and internationally. My work also extends to bringing yoga and mindfulness initiatives to corporate and educational settings.
I discovered yoga at 16 and have spent over three decades exploring diverse teachings and movement approaches. I've had the privilege of learning from inspiring teachers in yoga, meditation, and spirituality while also immersing myself in somatic practices that have profoundly enriched my approach to both practice and teaching.
Having taught thousands of public classes, I built a thriving yoga community in Cairns, North Queensland. These experiences have profoundly shaped my understanding of yoga and its transformative power for both individuals and communities.
I have witnessed firsthand how yoga transforms and heals—both in myself and my students. Yoga supported my recovery from a serious injury and became an anchor through life’s personal and family challenges, creating positive ripples in my parenting, relationships, self-worth and awareness.
In my retreats and classes, I cultivate a welcoming space filled with laughter and lightness, embracing you just as you are. Together, we nurture joy, love, creativity, personal power, and a deep connection to self and life.
I believe there are many valuable approaches to yoga. As our lives and bodies evolve, so too does the practice, expanding and maturing along with us.
I am a mother of three incredible adult daughters and currently reside in Kingscliff, NSW, with my wonderful partner and our adorable puppies.
