Certifications: Nutritious Movement®, BoneFit Canada
I’m 66 and have been teaching since 1999 when I started my career as a Pilates teacher. I taught Pilates for 12 years. After certifying as a Nutritious Movement® Certified Restorative Exercise Specialist in 2013, I made the switch to focus solely on Restorative Exercise. Not only did I benefit personally from RE, I found it gave me the tools to help my clients make lasting change and empower them to age actively with confidence.
Not long after certifying, I was selected by Katy Bowman to be a staff teacher and to mentor the new students coming through the training. I assisted at RES weeks where students tested for their certification. The staff teachers formed a strong bond that lasts to this day, and many of my colleagues remain good friends and provide a helpful network. The Nutritious Movement certification program has closed, but Katy continues to educate the teachers she trained.
My anatomy training benefitted from years of training with Juilliard teacher Irene Dowd (retired). Irene is a brilliant anatomist, movement teacher and choreographer.
Ongoing learning includes courses and study with Integrated Kinetic Neurology.
I am Bone Fit™ Canada certified (Level 2) for osteoporosis-safe classes. My first book; “Rescue Your Bunion; Movement Solutions for Mild to Moderate Bunions,” is coming soon.
I live in Toronto, Ontario, and teach virtually to students in North America, Europe, UK and even Australian and New Zealand!
