Often called the Urban Yogi, I am a Yoga teacher, international DJ and single mother.

My journey officially started when in 1996, after a traumatic injury during the Canada Games which ended my athletic career in 4 seconds. While recovering I found a copy of Autobiography of a Yogi which then led me to discover my mother’s copies of Light on Yoga, Yoga the Iyengar Way, The Bhagavad Gita  and a poster of Dharma Mittra’s 608 Asana. It was in those discoveries that I realized that Yoga had been with me all of my life weaving in and out of my childhood and adolescence and I ran from it at every turn. However when I needed it the most, the practice, was there. It brought me back from the brink of losing everything I had worked so hard to achieve during my athletic career to a place of stillness and healing. I spent the rest of that summer in full leg cast and crutches, secluded in my parent’s basement, trying to wrap my mind around this age old practice and its concepts.

“I’m lactose intolerant so a LOT of protein products don’t work for me as in make me very ill – what I found with Profi is that from the minute I tried it I wasn’t ill, they tasted great (I mixed it with my avocado smoothie ), and it took me from 8am drop off to 1pm after teaching 3 classes. I’m usually always hungry and with the Profi added to my usual routine it was filling and felt great.

I’ve chosen to continue as it makes my busy day of working or being on tour less stressful, I know I’m getting what I need in addition it adds a lot to my day as I have it in between meals. It’s important for me (I had Graves Disease, Hyperthyroidism and so I lose weight very fast and not always in the healthy sense) this allows me to have in betweens and has me feeling way better mentally and physically. I also enjoy the fact that’s it’s dairy free, vegan and gluten free. “
