Work With Me
Support for real life - through movement, breath, and relationship
Therapeutic yoga classes and private yoga therapy in the Comox Valley
This work is rooted in traditional yoga philosophy and supported by modern evidence. It invites you to work with your body, breath, mind, energy, and the deeper layers of being.
Whether through yoga studio classes or private yoga therapy sessions, this is a practice designed with intention and respect for where you are - creating space for strength, rest, clarity, and connection to unfold naturally.
No fixing. No performing. Just honest practice, as you are.
How I Work
I honour and build from traditional yoga philosophy, including the Panchamaya Kosha (five layers of being) model.
This work attends to the whole person - not just the physical (asana) practice.
It’s grounded in ancient wisdom and informed by modern understandings of stress, recovery, and habit patterns.
This approach makes room for your humanity, while offering enough structure to support real growth.
Together, we work with:
the physical body
the nervous system
breath and attention
patterns, meaning, and how you relate to your life
This practice welcomes the full range of human experience while still honouring accountability and care for yourself and others.

FAQs
-
The International Association of Yoga Therapists defines yoga therapy as “The professional application of the principles of yoga to promote health and well-being within a therapeutic relationship that includes personalized assessment, goal setting, lifestyle management, and yoga practices for individuals or small groups."
Yoga therapy is a personalized and holistic approach, tailored to your unique goals and challenges. The practices are specifically adapted to your body, nervous system, and life experience. Sessions are client-led and communication between client and practitioner is ongoing during the sessions. Yoga therapists also receive advanced training in anatomy, mental health, and mind-body integration.
In a typical yoga class, the sequence has been set for the group and is often focused on fitness or generalized well-being. While some classes can be therapeutic, there is little to no communication between group participants and teacher.

Your initial session will include a thorough intake and consultation so I can better understand your story, intentions, and needs. Depending on the nature of your visit, a physical assessment may be done to understand how your body moves and where you may be holding tension or discomfort. We will discuss your goals for yoga therapy.
From there, you will be guided through practices tailored specifically to your needs, which may include:
Pranayama (breathwork)
Asana (physical postures)
Guided meditation
Somatic awareness & self-inquiry
Journaling prompts
Suggestions for at-home integration
In follow-up sessions, we will build on your previous session(s), refining or adapting to how you are feeling that day. Follow-up sessions will always be flexible, whether they focus on your over-all long term goals or zoom in on a specific issue or feeling that is present in the moment.
Each session is a collaboration. You are the expert in your experience - my role is to hold space, offer guidance, and help you attune to your body, breath, and inner knowing.
-
Yoga therapy supports a wide range of concerns! These include addiction recovery, PTSD, anxiety, sleep disorders, general physical or emotional tension, and more!
-
Absolutely not! There are no flexibility, strength, or previous experience required. Simply a willingness to explore. All sessions will be adapted to meet you where you are.
-
Wear anything that feels comfortable that will allow you to move and breathe with ease! I would recommend bringing a journal and some water or tea.
For in-person appointments, all props will be provided.
If you are doing an online appointment, do your best to find a quiet, distraction free space. If you have blocks and bolsters at home, great! If not, many other items can be used for props (pillows, blankets, towels, etc.)
-
No. Yoga therapy is a complementary practice, not a replacement for medical or psychological care. I do not diagnose or treat. If you are working with other providers, yoga therapy can be a supportive part of your overall care plan.
