Bio

Osteopath / Pain Care Educator / Pain Care Aware trainer/ Therapeutic Movement teacher (yoga, Pilates, Somatics)

My passion is to teach those in pain the tools needed to LIVE their life rather than just SURVIVE their pain.

I am an Osteopath, a graduate of Pain Care U’s Professional Pain Care and Pain Care Aware Trainer programs and a therapeutic Pilates, yoga and somatics teacher. I started dancing at the age of 3 and haven't stopped exploring movement since!

A deep fascination with how the body moves led me to a B.Sc in Exercise Science with a major in Athletic Therapy from Concordia University in 1995 and a Rehab Pilates certification in 1996. My love of palpation and curiosity about how the body, mind and spirit are interconnected led me to an Osteopathy degree from Le Collège d'Études Ostéopathiques de Montréal (CEO) in 2005 and a yoga teacher certification in 2018.

In 1997 I founded CORE BASICS - Centre d’Osteopathie et Pilates and was the proud owner of this small, multidisciplinary clinic for 16 years until challenging health issues changed my path quite suddenly.

In 2017 Stillness in Motion was born. Combining manual therapy with creative, embodied movement, mindfulness, awareness, self-regulation practices and a creative, heart centered approach to pain care is what I am best known for.

Living with chronic pain myself for over a decade has given me an invaluable perspective on the day-to-day challenges those in pain face. In 2020 my desire to empower people with knowledge, awareness and practical tools inspired the creation of Discover to Recover - Move From Pain to Potential, a 6-week online pain care program. I love teaching and offer many courses, workshops and teacher trainings in embodied anatomy, somatic movement, and compassionate, creative pain care.
