Studies in Herbology and Naturopathy exposed her to many different alternative therapies and exercises, which led her to begin practicing yoga.

Along with her husband, John, she regularly attends Richard Freeman workshops around the world, and they have both completed his highly regarded one month Yoga Teacher Intensive twice, in 2009 and 2011.
