I was very involved in various forms of dance as a child until my late teen years - classical ballet, modern dance, jazz ballet, tap dancing, national dance. As an adult I became very interested in the group fitness field. Over time this lead me to grow a passion for everything fitness - the variety of GF classes, personal training, aquatic fitness, and yoga. In 2004 I decided to study massage therapy also, after graduation I was given the opportunity to teach a prenatal yoga class, beginning massage & the level 1 anatomy for the certification. My natural interest to improve people's lives through physical activity & life style changes has led me to grow into various roles to include maintaining a private massage practice, private yoga instruction & facility/club management roles.

My number one passion is yoga. I am continually attending various workshops and certifications to educate myself & am currently working towards my 500 RYT.

In my personal time I spend time outdoors bicycling, motorcycle riding, hiking & camping, and staying active with my family of pets. I love to take my dogs out hiking & camping with me. I have been very involved in animal welfare & rescue. Currently living in the U.S with my husband as a legal resident with green card, I am an Australian, although my husband is American - I will be remaining in the U.S. Growing up in Australia I was always outdoors - active at the beach, hiking the mountains, swimming in the lakes. I love the sunshine!
