Over 25-years experience offering professional counseling, health teaching and yoga/meditation.
A PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR/THERAPIST
I have been a professional counselor for over 25-years, hold a Masters of Social Work (MSW) degree from McMaster University and am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Services Workers. My experiences include work in out-patient psychiatry, community mental health, addictions, trauma recovery services, and child/youth/family services.
I am committed to offering services that are supported by research and deliver positive results. I use a trauma-informed and anti-oppression/anti-racist approach to my work and am committed to my ongoing learning journey.
A workplace mental health & wellness educator
I am a workplace and community mental health educator, champion, leader and change maker.
As a certified facilitator with the Mental Health Commission of Canada since 2014 and over 25 years of experience in mental health, research, community development, policy and workplace wellness, I am passionate about working with non-profits, businesses and governments to improve employee and management wellness.
a yoga & mindfulness meditation Teacher
I have been studying and practicing yoga since 1991 and have a long-standing and mature personal yoga and meditation practice.
In 2008, at the encouragement of friends and yoga students, I was inspired to teach yoga. I was accepted to the yoga teacher training program at the Yoga Centre of Burlington and earned a ‘pass with distinction’ as a Certified Yoga Teacher.
To further benefit my students, I continued my studies in meditation with Samagra Naturality Meditation and became a Meditation Facilitator in 2010.
Since 2008, I have been teaching yoga and meditation on a full and part time basis in both Hamilton and Toronto.
Yoga, meditation and breath work are long-standing personal practices for me, and I am forever grateful for the gifts that the wisdom of these traditions have given me.
