I’ve just been to watch the spectacular shapes produced by the glass blower at 'St.Helens World of Glass’. The amazing glass blower spent five years apprenticeship training in Poland. The boiling hot glass if not handled properly would disintegrate the entire arm if mishandled. The heat alone from the kiln like ovens blew to the [...]
“The mind when housed in a healthful body, possesses a glorious sense of power’ – Joseph Pilates. The method of movement that you all know me for is: ‘Pilates’. The whole purpose of movement is to provide the body an environment in which it can heal itself from dis-ease and disconnection. We can all transform our pain into [...]
At this stage of life, for me, teaching, coaching and consulting is much more about WHO I work with and the IMPACT I can bring rather than how MANY people I work with. We all have so much stuff going on in life and every person has challenges in many different ways. I have spent [...]

Every decision that we make comes from our Amygdala (Amygdala is the integrative centre for emotions, emotional behaviour, and motivation. The amygdala is commonly thought to form the core of a neural system for processing fearful and threatening stimuli). Our [...]
As 2023 approaches, we all have New year’s resolutions in our bodies, business, relationships and careers. My experience is that most of the decisions we make are not sustained long term. The hardest resolution to change is always health related. If we do not have our health, how can we improve our energy, our emotions, [...]
Perhaps not as dynamic as the great Houdini, but enough to invoke question and change. We cannot change the past but we can change the present moment and our future. Are you a victim or your history or a master of your destiny? Becoming your most authentic self requires you to leave your mark on [...]
