Thanks for dropping by my page to learn a little more about me.​

​

Born and raised on an acreage in Ardrossan, Alberta, my love of nature and animals grew at a young age.

I began training in competitive ballet, jazz, lyrical, modern, tap and musical theatre at the age of 4 and attended The National Ballet of Canada, The Royal Winnipeg Ballet and The Quite Ballet School.

After graduation, I continued to teach dance, became a flight attendant and then relocated to beautiful

Whistler, British Columbia where I began a career in banking. 

I continued to teach and was fortunate to co-produce a program called The Whistler Kids Cabaret where I led dance and musical theatre alongside my partner, a brilliant actor/children's music creator, Ira Pettle.​

​

In 2017, my life pivoted quickly after I lost my Nana. Nan helped raised me and she is my inspiration and truly my person. I had not been faced with loss of loved ones so I began searching for alternative healing methods aside from traditional counselling. I began learning about Shamanic teachings, working with local

Indigenous Elders and completed a Shamanic healing course.​

 

Being close to the water has always brought peace to my soul and after going through a traumatic event at the end of 2020, I moved to the small island of Saturna in the Southern Gulf Islands at the end of 2021.

I live on a beautiful piece of land with an ocean view surrounded by deer, eagles, orcas

and all of the other island inhabitants. 

 

​Dance, movement and music have always been therapeutic to me, so again in my search for

deeper trauma healing in 2022, completed my 200 hour yoga/sound training with Tina Pashumati James 

where my deep love of yoga really began.​

March 2023, lead me on a pilgrimage to beautiful India.

With the intention of finding peace, I leaned into the rich culture and found much more than I could have ever imagined.

I embraced the deep roots of yoga and learned about the linage of my teachings.

I experienced the Holi festival in Vrindavan and was blessed in the beautiful Ganga (Ganges) in Rishikesh.

I was humbled with every step and my practice deepened even further when I travelled solo to

Coimbatore to spend a week at the Isha Yoga Center.

Although India was very foreign, it was very familiar to me and my heart and soul were cracked open and healed deeply. 

 

​Through my experiences and teachings, my wish is to provide a safe space for others to heal and foster

a fun learning environment for children to explore, play and grow. 

This may be through a one on one session, yoga class, dance class, meditation or sound bath.​

 

I look foward to being with you.

With love, Sarah-Dawn. xo
