My journey into wellness began as a competitive figure skater, where I was introduced to strength training and yoga during my youth.

Years later, while navigating the challenges of depression and anxiety, I rediscovered yoga as a sanctuary for mental clarity and inner peace. As a single mother working full-time as a Behavioural Educational Assistant, I often faced the heavy toll of recurring burnout while managing life’s demands.

In late October 2024, my world was profoundly impacted when my mother and closest friend was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Watching my hero maintain such a resilient spirit through her treatments inspired me to prioritize my own health. I am overjoyed to share that she is now a cancer survivor!

This life shift led me to complete my Reiki Level 1 & 2 certifications, eventually co-hosting Reiki Healing and Sound Bath Meditations at GoYoga. My path continued with a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, fueling my passion for teaching Chair Yoga and Reiki Restore. I have since expanded my practice to include Indian Head Massage and have spent the past year supporting many clients through these healing modalities.

​

After moving to Grand Valley in the Spring I started teaching Chair Yoga at the Library. This Fall I am offering two classes at the Community Centre and practising Reiki/Head Massage out of Beaming Wellness.

I look forward to seeing how my practice evolves as I continue to serve others.

Warmly,
Kiri
