Yoga was introduced to me when I experienced my first panic attack at a carnival in 2008. Shortly after that incident, I began to experience anxiety episodes. I went to many doctor appointments to try and figure out what was wrong. Instead of going for the pill, I chose yoga.

Getting on my mat did not come easy, however, I was committed. I instantly felt better right after my first class! From that day forward, I decided to keep going. Needless to say, my anxiety disappeared, my confidence and self esteem went up and the love I had for myself became palpable. This inner happiness and transformation I was living on and off my mat, my yoga journey has continued strong with a daily commitment to be a student first.

In 2012 I completed my first 200hr Yoga Teacher Training in Canada, and in 2016 I went on to complete another 200 hour Teacher Training in New York. I continued to further educate myself and in 2018 I completed my 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training.

Today I am a 500 hour certified power vinyasa instructor in addition to completing 20 hours of Yin training and 60 hours of Hands on Assisting from Canada and the USA combined.

I lived in New York City for five years where I taught and managed one of the top yoga studios in Manhattan and now I am the proud owner of a successful yoga studio in Burlington, Ontario.

It is through my yoga studio that I met Lisa who I instantly connected with so strongly on all levels. She is the yin to my yang, and together, we strive to curate the best experiences. We are a huge YES for bringing SoulFULL Yoga and Wellness Retreats across the globe and look forward to creating memorable experiences our guests will remember forever.
