Join others hoping to sort out frustrating compensation patterns. Whether you're an athlete or aiming to maintain an active lifestyle as you age, my workshops can help you.

Not sure about working with me? Workshops offer a low-barrier introduction to my approach, helping you understand what your body has been missing. Start your journey today.

I love educating former athletes and people who want to age well through workshops because I'm walking in your shoes.

With 12 years at Canada's National Ballet School and achievements as a National and World Champion salsa dancer over another 12 years of training, I bring extensive training experience. My academic background includes a Master's and PhD in biology, specializing in animal movement, spanning over 30 years of observation and refinement.

Having faced frustrating injuries and persistent aches and pains, including a critical setback just before a national competition, I understand firsthand the challenges athletes encounter. That's why I offer workshops designed to help individuals reach their full potential and overcome obstacles to enjoying an active lifestyle.
