I have dedicated my life to the wellness and fitness industry for over 29 years. I am the owner of Connected Living Yoga and Wellness. A yoga studio that believes the philosophy Come as you are. Use what you have. Do what you can. Because yoga is for EVERYbody I am also the founder of Shine Om Yoga, creator of the Yoga For Real People series, and the owner and wellness Co-ordinator of NEOMO Wellness, working with the NEOMO Family Medical Centre.
I have been a large fan and supporter of Easter Seals and the Dancing with the Stars event for many years. I have danced all my life. My first ballet classes had me hooked as a child, leading me to attend the National Ballet summer school several years in a row. After meeting my sweetheart because of a Dancing with the Stars event, I now find joy in learning how to ballroom dance with him.
This event is now deeply embedded in my soul.
