The initial consultation begins with a conversation about your goals, health history, and current practice. From there we'll explore movement, breath, meditation, or other practices that are appropriate for you. We'll finish with time for questions and review a plan for sustainably incorporating practice into daily life.

Standard paramedical plans and do not directly cover personalized yoga therapy. However, because our focus is on wellness, stress reduction, and sustainable lifestyle practices, many clients successfully claim their sessions through an employer-provided Wellness Spending Account or Flexible Wellness Account. I recommend checking with your specific provider to see what services are eligible under your flexible wellness benefits. Clients are provide a detailed receipt that can be submitted for reimbursement.

Within the ten integrated aspects, there are many domains we can work with outside of movement. For those managing severe chronic fatigue, illness, or limited mobility, our sessions can shift entirely to aspects of traditional breathwork, guided meditation, and deep regulation of the nervous system.

Empowerment begins by keeping your home practice realistic, and sustainable. Instead of overwhelming you with long routines, we collaborate to design brief daily rituals that easily fit into your current lifestyle. We focus on movements and traditional breathwork that offer immediate nervous system relief, so the positive feeling itself becomes your natural motivation. By giving you clear instructions and tracking your progress over time, you build the confidence to self-regulate. Ultimately, I provide the tools, but you reclaim the agency over your own healing path.

I have been fortunate to study with many skilled teachers whose theory is rooted in both tradition and personal practice. You can read through all of my qualifications on the ‘About’ page.

We begin with an open conversation to listen to your goals and connect. Together, we explore a holistic intake that honors your lifestyle, alignment, and breathing habits, allowing us to map out a clear, individualized framework for your healing path. I assess my clients over ten unique integrated aspects. Each subsequent visit offers the opportunity for reassessment for your changing lifestyle, needs, and capacity.

While group classes offer beautiful general wellness and collective energy, yoga therapy is an intentional, one-on-one journey tailored specifically to your body's unique needs, medical history, and emotional supports.

I view yoga therapy as a supportive bridge that works hand-in-hand with your existing medical care. I am not a medical doctor or licensed counsellor and therefore do not diagnose conditions. However, I highly value the guidance of your doctors, therapists, or specialists. With your permission, we are always happy to align our gentle physical modifications and traditional breathwork with their specific treatment boundaries. By respecting clinical guidelines, we ensure your therapeutic practices seamlessly integrate with your medical team's plan to support your healing safely.

I’ve learned over many years that clients often feel the effects of yoga therapy most profoundly during their second session. The first session includes a comprehensive intake and once we move into practice it is common for a client’s nervous system to be heightened as they are experiencing something new and are still learning how yoga therapy works. It is in the sessions that follow our initial intake where clients feel a sustainable shift. That being said, building long-term physical well-being, and changing chronic movement patterns typically unfold beautifully over a dedicated commitment of 5 to 10 sessions.

Yes, yoga therapy doesn’t require flexible bodies; we look at movement and stillness as paths to find grace. I gently modify every single practice using supportive props or mindful structural adjustments to ensure it feels safe, stable, and deeply comfortable on your body.

Think of these specialized tools as a bridge back to your natural state of wellness. Once your balance is shifting and your nervous system stabilizing, your intensive therapeutic homework naturally transforms into a brief, fluid routine of preventative self-care.

I do not treat a clinical medical diagnosis; I treat the whole human being. By working directly with your baseline physiological functions—gentle posture tracking, opening restricted alignment, and harmonizing your breathing patterns—we can naturally soothe systemic, unexplained stress and physical tension.
