I’m an educator, entrepreneur, lifelong learner, and the founder of Pebble Yoga & Mindfulness.

But more than anything, I’m someone who has always been curious about one question:

What helps people thrive?

That question continues to shape both my work and my life.

My Story

Growing up with idiopathic scoliosis taught me something I didn’t fully understand until much later.

Movement isn’t simply about the body.

It can shape confidence, resilience, self-awareness, and the way we experience ourselves and the world around us.

That experience sparked a lifelong curiosity about the relationship between movement, learning, and human development.

Today, it continues to influence the way I teach, parent, and learn.

My Journey

My path has taken me through education, entrepreneurship, business leadership, and community building.

At first glance, those experiences may seem unrelated… however, looking back, I see a common thread.Each one deepened my appreciation for people, relationships, learning, and the environments that help individuals and communities flourish.

Eventually, those experiences came together in Pebble.

Why I Created Pebble

Pebble was never just about yoga.

It was created from a desire to help children and youth develop the awareness, confidence, resilience, and connection that support them throughout life—and to support the parents, educators, and communities walking alongside them.

I believe learning doesn’t happen only in the mind.

It happens through the whole person.

Movement, mindfulness, curiosity, relationships, and play all have an important role to play.

Beyond Pebble

When I’m not teaching or creating new programs, you’ll often find me spending time with my family, walking the trails of the Okanagan, reading, asking questions, or exploring new ideas in education, child development, neuroscience, and human flourishing.

I’m endlessly inspired by children, nature, meaningful conversations, and the reminder that we’re all still learning.

My journey into this work began as a teenager, when I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Scoliosis. That experience sparked a lifelong curiosity about the relationship between body and mind, and a passion for creating movement and mindfulness practices that help young people develop early body awareness and self-trust.

With a background as a K–12 educator and as a parent, I design programs that are both developmentally informed and deeply human. I bring mindfulness out of theory and into real environments — classrooms, gyms, studios, and homes — in ways that feel accessible, playful, and meaningful.

My programs are shaped by my personal and professional experiences and guided by community connection. I believe in meeting children exactly where they are, honouring both individual needs and collective growth, and supporting the long-term well-being of the next generation.
