About Dakota

“We are healed of a suffering only by experiencing it to the full.”

Don't run away from grief, o soul, look for the remedy inside the pain, because the rose came from the thorn, and the ruby came from a stone. RUMI

Wow, where do I start? She certainly was the firecracker of my three daughters, my wild child. She was always the most adventurous and wild. She was the one that put me through the grinder the most.

She is a beautiful soul who has moved onto a different energy field, and I believe she is with Jesus now.

Dakota was born in Johannesburg South Africa, and raised mostly in Canada, she loved the wild beauty and safety of Vancouver Island. She was 23 when she left this world.

We had started our Yoga Teacher Training together and I went on to finish it for us. I have continued to study and upgrade my skills and now bring my offerings to anyone who can use them. She is the reason I am able to do this business.

Dakota introduced me to a whole new world of energy healing and is still with me. I miss her so much.

My Grief Yoga Journey Helped Heal My Trauma

…. my grief was too deeply rooted to be cured with words … (Orianda).

In 2018 my life was thrown into the pits of hell. My youngest daughter Dakota died tragically.

I am a proud mom of 3 of my own beautiful daughters, and my equally beautiful stepdaughter. I have been married for over 30 years. For most of my life, I have been self-employed, and before Dakota left I was in advertising sales, which I loved.

Dakota and I had started our Yoga Teacher Training together. I finished it for us, and now humbly bring my teachings to anyone who needs to move and heal. Your story is your own, and only you know why you need to heal. I have been teaching private lessons and in-studios in Mexico and Canada. I have glowing testimonials from clients.

I will guide you through the classes, whether you are new to yoga or just need to move energy and work through grief or loss. I am here to serve you.

I have been able to work through my loss with a consistent yoga practice. Don’t get me wrong, there are still many days that I am overwhelmed with grief and sadness, but I know I can always come back to my yoga to help me through the day.

I no longer just live in a black and white world. Colour has returned and I am able to live and celebrate Dakota’s life.

If any of this resonates with you, then let’s connect and see if my yoga offerings are for you.

I have also been for lots of counselling and have worked through a course provided by two beautiful sisters, Sharon and Erica, done a TRANSCENDENCE Course with Dave and Christine. A course through Hospice and listen daily to Podcasts from different healers, and a course with an amazing business coach Lisa Michaud. (I will put a link to all these amazing people on my offerings page.

Yoga moved the grief energy through my body. I have moved from being miserable and depressed to living a good life. Allow me to help you do the same.
