The founder of Drift Yoga, a women who wear many hats with heart - yoga instructor, space holder, Thai fusion massage practitioner, and mother of two beautiful girls. Originally from Ontario, I'm now deeply rooted in the mountain town of Kimberley, BC, where I've created Drift Yoga as both a studio and a sanctuary. I'm a E-RYT 500 yoga instructor with a passion for presence, softness, and practices that reconnect us with ourselves. Whether I'm guiding movement, holding space for stillness, or simply pouring tea after class, I'm here to offer something real. A place where you can land, breathe, and feel deeply held.

My why
THE HEART BEHIND DRIFT YOGA
​I came to yoga at a time in my life when I felt deeply lost. Uncertain of who I was, where I was going, or how to meet the moment I was in. I wasn't looking for answers, but when I found the practice, something within me softened. It felt as though the practice offered me a quiet doorway back to a part of myself I had forgotten, or maybe never truly met. The physical practice grounded me. The philosophy opened me. And the stillness held me in a way that felt both unfamiliar and deeply true.
​
My journey began in the first studio I practiced in. As I moved from student to teacher, a seed was planted - a quiet vision of creating a space that felt like home, where others could land gently, feel held, and return to themselves. A space you could come to in any season of your life and feel welcomed, supported, and held. A home away from home. I wanted Drift Yoga to be more than a place to move - I wanted it to be a place to be.
​
My approach to guiding is simple: come as you are. This is a practice that meets you in your humanness - no performance, no pressure, no perfect shape. My classes offer a blend of softness and strength, with gentle encouragement to meet your edges and listen inward. I believe in creating an atmosphere thats welcoming and warm, where you're invited to honour your own rhythm and explore your practice in a way that feels true to you. Every day on the mat is different. We welcome you to arrive exactly as you are - beautifully, authentically you.
MOVED BY NATURE
In nature, I remember who I am - not separate, but part of a living rhythm that holds us all. It's where I'm reminded that nothing stays the same, that everything unfolds in its own divine timing, and that nothing in life is rushed. The seasons shift, the trees release, the rivers move forward without force. And so can we. Drift Yoga is deeply inspired by this rhythm. It's a space shaped by the natural world, where you're invited to move slowly, listen deeply, and return to your own natural pace.
