I am a retired Special Education Consultant and Elementary School Administrator with the Trillium Lakelands District School Board. I am now an experienced and registered yoga teacher certified by the Canadian Yoga Alliance E-RYT500. I have over 700 hours of yoga and meditation teacher training and I would love to have you join our Sangha (Yoga Community). Additionally, being a Recognized Therapeutic Touch Practitioner brings me great joy.
For 10 years, I co-led workshops for our formerly named Central East: Local Health Integration Network (CE:LHIN), now titled Home and Community Care Support Services (HCCSS). Workshops were on Chronic Conditions, Chronic Pain, Diabetes, Mental Health, and Self-Care for Caregivers. I was a Master Trainer whose role it was to train new leaders in all of the above workshops.
