Our body is a vehicle of expression, a fluid structure that has it’s own language and dynamic potential. If given the freedom to express, with commitment to awareness and compassion, it can unearth deep creativity, inspired thinking and joy!

Joyful Motion has been birthed from a personal journey. It represents my offering of classes, workshops, one-on-one therapies, creative projects and community connections that support the experience of body/mind awareness, energetic sensing and joyful expression. I am constantly learning and am grateful for all my teachers. I continue to journey with Daniel Leven, Emilie Conrad, Gabrielle Roth, Hari Kiran Kaur, KaliMa, all my students, colleagues, clients, and the great inner teacher!

What happened to The Clinic Upstairs?
Having owned and operated The Clinic Upstairs Massage Therapy and Wellness Centre for the last ten years, it was time for a change. The clinic has closed and joyfulmotion.ca now becomes the gathering space for my present moment explorations. I've moved my practice to the west end of Ottawa to a beautiful new space, and teach at a variety of locations around town. All the practitioners from the clinic carry on in new locations. Heartfelt thanks to all who climbed the stairs for all those years!
