I’m a certified Iyengar yoga instructor, actor, playwright, and director, with over two decades of training and professional experience across theatre and yoga.

My acting career includes classical training and performance with the Shaw Festival, one of Canada’s flagship theatres. I also write and direct for the stage. Among my works is Blackstones & Bathtubs, a Canada 150 legacy musical commissioned for the City of Nanaimo, which I both wrote and directed.

I’m especially drawn to the intersection between yoga and creation, the way breath, alignment, and embodied attention can become the ground from which performance and writing emerge. This interest deepened through training at One Yellow Rabbit’s Summer Lab Intensive, whose physically rigorous, devised approach to theatre making resonates closely with the body-based discipline of my yoga practice.

Beyond professional theatre, I’ve led large-scale, ArtStarts-funded creative projects within schools, bringing performance, devising, and embodied practice to young people.

I’m also a mother of three powerful and energetic young beings who teach me magnitudes about all of the above, and their connections.

At its heart, yoga is the practice of integration, uniting body, mind, and spirit into a single, connected whole. Theatre holds that same potential power: it gathers what is scattered in us, challenges and wakes us, and draws us into deeper connection with one another and ourselves.
