She is best known for her authentic teaching style, unique creativity, and warm humour.

Naturally not only provides a peaceful natural setting for the 21 day residential intensive with the Integrative Yoga Therapy 200 hour Therapeutic Yoga Teacher Training, but is also considered by many, a valuable resource in Alberta's Lakeland.
