My journey with Nia began over 11 years ago - on a professional level longing to blend my dance/movement world with work in the areas of grief, trauma and chronic illness with indivduals, families and communites - Nia became a natural fit.

My Journey began in 2006 when I stepped into the White Belt Experience in Ontario, Canada, with Roberta Mohler, Nia Black Belt Instructor. Nia became the gateway to transforming my relationship with my body, mind and spirit. Prior to Nia, I had conditioned myself to override the sensations of pain and exhaustion, as that is how I coped with my childhood chronic Illness. 

As my journey through the Belts continued with Debbie Rosas, Carlos Rosas-Aya, Ann Christenson and Winalee Zeeb, I have grown to appreciate and discover the uniquness this body of knowledge has to offer. 

I am passionate about movement; in all possible ways!  My 20+ years in the dance/movement field; 20 years in the Social Work field in Mental Health, Children’s Aid Society, Non-Profit organizations and Primary Health Care offers me a unique perspective to health, wellness and healing.
