Biography to come.
This Pilates and Wellness Retreat is being run with the help and support of Lisa Pickering & Namaskar Retreats.
I have been operating and growing my successful dog walking and caring business for the past 11 years. My work has allowed me to spend nearly every moment with my beautiful husband and my wonderful dog.
In my spare time I have competed in marathon and half marathon events, fundraising for Breast Cancer Network Australia, Mitochondria Awareness and The Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation. Recently my 80’s Trivia Fundraiser raised over $5,936.00 for Peter MacCallum.
My love of running is what led me to practicing yoga for assistance in recovery after training or from the event itself. Having completed 8 half marathons and 3 marathons, I have decided to hang up my shoes for endurance events and roll out my mat instead.
