Services
My programs are proven to help people to attain more self-awareness and mind-body connection, mental and physical strength and agility, and increased inner peace, core calm, and true relaxation. At this stage, most of my classes are for those who have some class time experience and want a more experienced teacher to help them to deepen their understanding of the practice.
Group classes have been on hiatus since March 2020 due to the pandemic restriction. Private sessions are being offered, customized to meet your needs.
New! Deep Tissue Massage, my home or yours. Competitive rates, satisfaction guaranteed.
New! The Miracle Ball Method - release chronic tension for better alignment and pain reduction. Interest for a beginners class may sign up at Avalon Spa.
I am also a very experienced yogic chant leader. I was mentored by Chaula Hopefisher during my residency at Kripalu Center in this sadhana, and brought it back to Victoria with me when I returned in 1998. Below is a clip of a 2010 kirtan at the Church of Truth with former partner, Marina Halleran, who sadly passed away in 2012. I am still available to lead Kirtan in sacred sanctuaries.

Classes are theoretical yet highly experiential, fun yet deep, exploratory yet disciplined.

I also offer private instruction that is fully personalized to best help you attain balance and wellness..Hope to see you soon!
