About Me

Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, I moved to London in 2005 to complete my university degree in Marketing and International Business. I was only meant to be here for six months, but I never went back. I’m still here and now live with my partner and three young children. 

Yoga

I graduated from triyoga’s teacher training program led by Jean Hall and Mimi Kuo-Deemer. I also qualified as a pregnancy and postnatal yoga teacher under Nadia Narain and completed the 300-hour teacher training with Jason Crandell in 2018.

Like many people 2020 was a difficult year for me. I’d been practicing yoga for fifteen years and teaching for seven, and yet it was the first time that I really took yoga and meditation off my mat and into the world. 

I paused my teaching and dove headfirst into personal practice and self study. By engaging with the teachings of yoga and meditation, I learned to stay with the discomfort and sadness rather than turn away from it.

Since then, my teaching style evolved to include trauma-informed and social justice influences. In response to the BLM movement and the anti-Asian racism in the United States that intensified during the Covid pandemic, I studied with the non-profit organisation Off the Mat into the World, Embodied Awareness with Bo Forbes, Trauma Sensitive Trauma Centre Yoga Foundations with Alex Cat, completed the Level I, II and III Mindfulness Meditation training with Cyndi Lee and am in the Trauma-Informed Yoga & Somatics Training certification with Collective Resilience.

My intention is to create an accessible and welcoming environment for you to practice in, regardless of your level of experience. I want to help move you out of your head and into your body, while staying engaged with the world around us. 

Coaching

In 2022 I embarked on my life coaching journey. I was so transformed by the process that in 2023 I qualified as an Integrative Change Worker through the Ethical Coaching Collective and as a certified Life Coach with the Life Coach School.

With in the yoga or coaching world, rarely seeing my ethnicity reflected back to me growing up, I want to use my profile to act as a mirror for the Asian community, particularly those who are first-generation Westerners.

Facts about me:

• I love sci-fi. Think Doctor Who and Stars War (especially Mando)

• No coriander for me. I don’t have the enzyme that breaks the herb down. I taste soap, not fresh lemon.

• I moved to London for the music. My favourite venue was the Astoria.

• The song to get me on the dance floor - Hypnotize by Biggie Smalls
