My name is Gwen and I have been in the fitness and health industry for over 20 years but always felt like something was missing. Throughout the years I had taught hi/low impact aerobics, jazzercise, step and aquasize. A lower back injury forced me to leave teaching and slow down.  A friend introduced me to a restorative yoga backs class to help minimize my back pain.  I finally found a connection through body, mind and spirit that helped me to manage my back pain.

I believe yoga helped me get my back strong and healthy and free of constant pain.  I have since learned to honor my boundaries through practice, breath and meditation. I was then inspired to become a yoga teacher especially yoga for backs.

After completing a two year, 300+ hour hatha yoga instructor certification with the Yoga Studio of Canada, I now share my enthusiasm and insights with others.  I have participated in various workshops relating to specific ailments such as back care, joint release and shoulder and hip openers. 

My local yoga influences include Margot Kitchen, David McAmmond, Rob Walker and my students. Other influences are Shirely Daventry-French and Judith Lasater.

I have also been introduced to my gift of spiritual energy healing. Spiritual healing deals with your natural energy.  Treatment deals with the whole person - mind, body and spirit. Working with the Divine power I act as a conduit for pranic healing energy, often described as "life force energy" which relaxes the body, releases tension and stimulates self-healing. The benefits of energy healing can be felt on many levels, not just the physical level. The healing energy is not a cure but facilitates wellness in the mind, body and spirit. I have been truly blessed with this gift. After a healing session has been performed, clients usually feel energized, grounded and empowered.

I get excited to help people explore their potential.   Now through getting in touch with the inner self, body awareness and smart nutrition, others are experiencing a more rewarding, healthier and happier lifestyle. 

Our journey begins from the inside out.
