I worked in the insurance industry for 20 years and unknowingly over time, I let work become my life. After having what some called a nervous breakdown I learned how important it was to look after myself and to maintain balance in my life. I learned a number of different tools and techniques through my recovery including yoga and meditation and knew I needed to share these with others. I now serve by inspiring true life balance within the body, mind and soul of others on all levels: physical, mentally, energetically, emotionally and spiritually by offering services that I found very inspiring through my own journey to balance. I joined the Spiritual Niagara team in 2017, with my passion to help others holistically, it seemed natural for me to join this amazing team to fulfill my passion on a larger scale.
- ॐ Yoga ॐ
- I have been trained in Classical Hatha Yoga, a tradition originating in India. I teach classes online, and have a team in Niagara who teach chair yoga in senior care facilities to classes of all sizes and privately for groups and individuals. My classes combine mindful movements, breathing, concentration, relaxation and meditation to allow your body to connect to your mind to help them work together.
Yoga was the way I learned how to become aware of what my body was telling me and gave me the relaxation my mind and body needed throughout my recovery.

ॐ Yoga Nidra ॐ
Yoga Nidra is a deep conscious relaxation meditation to release mental, physical and emotional tensions while rejuvenating the body mind and soul.ॐ Chair Yoga in Retirement and Nursing Homes ॐ
My team and I travel to nursing and retirement homes to share chair yoga and dance fit.ॐ Office Yoga ॐ
With having come from a corporate background and working in offices I realized how important taking breaks throughout the day were to help coordinate the body and mind along with increasing productivity. I provide what I like to call “Balance Breaks” teaching yoga; before, during or after work to give time to those who don’t make time for themselves. These are classes done in work clothes, taking a mindful moment to coordinate mind and body.ॐ Yoga at Home ॐ
Sometimes people aren’t comfortable coming into a class with a group or can’t make it at the scheduled times, so I offer one on one classes to make it more convenient for you individually.ॐ Healing Mantra Chantingॐ
I offer mantra chanting classes online around the eve of the full moon and new moon to enhance the power of the mantra. This is a form of meditation where we concentrate the mind on the mantra by chanting it aloud 108 times. - ॐ Meditation ॐ
- I was trained in a one pointed meditation through my yoga certification and have also attended a Meditation course through the Willpower Institute in Niagara Falls, a Thai tradition called Samatha where I learned more about the philosophy behind meditation and why it works so well for so many reasons.

- I have been trained as an Alignment Practitioner with Lori Brant, The Happiness Coach, where we work together to identify what alignment is like for you in your life, where you feel most at ease, and the identify situations that pull you out of that alignment and we go through strategies to bring you back into alignment and look deeper into what that discomfort is connected to. Once we bring awareness to the root of the pattern, we can make the choice to change.
- Inspirational Speaking
- I believe looking after yourself is so important and I like to share this with others so I travel to different places to share my story with others to inspire them to become more aware of their holistic health.
– Yoga, meditation, mindfulness
– Stress management - Holistic Products
- I stock a number of holistic health products including:
ॐ Tongue Scrapers
ॐ Nasya oil
ॐ Meditation Stools
ॐ Yoga Nidra Cds by Swami Mahesh
ॐ Online meditations, mantras, relaxations and Yoga nidras

Everything happens for a reason, sometimes we don’t always understand it, but we grow by learning from the lessons. I believe everyone is unique and what works for some doesn’t work for all. Incorporating gratitude and self-love in your life and becoming more aware to create space to be able to question your thoughts, will help to move through the ebbs and flows that everyone experiences.
