I created Free Your Spine to be led in non-traditional Spaces outside of wellness studios.

Free Your Spine is for folk who may not always feel welcome in traditional Yoga and Pilates studios.

It's for people who want to move in the way their body is intuiting them to move.

It's for people who want to dive deep into their bodies and spinal (back) wisdom.

In essence it's all about straddling the line between preventative back care, self love and self expression.

It's super important for myself as a facilitator and leader of this movement experience to create an energetic ambiance where the offering is for masks to be dropped, and to move in a way that feels good.

Free Your Spine is for the sedentary worker, the stressed out mama, the overwhelmed business owner and the dreamers and doers.

Align

Part of my motivation with this method is to inspire people to FEEL more.

I use the body as a metaphor for how we would like to navigate and move through our life- a life that is full of flow, ease and freedom from back and body pain.

Free your spine method mission

As our lives have got busier and busier, we’ve fallen into roles we think we should fit into to conform to society.

We’ve forgotten how to express ourselves and release the playfulness within all of us.

We have become increasingly stagnant and tense in our bodies, and many of us fall prey to the mind cave of overwhelm, stress, depression and anxiety.

My mission is to support, guide and empower you to feel stronger, lighter and freer in your back, mind and body, ultimately helping you to connect back into your true creative/empowered self.

Empower

After teaching dance, movement and Pilates for over a decade, I saw an opportunity for a new, more flexible approach to moving the body mindfully but playfully.

I wanted to develop a creative way to relieve back pain and bring fun back into the body and spine.

After testing and refining my approach with my students over years, I’ve created a unique Free Your Spine “move little and often” approach to make my method accessible to people everywhere

Flow

With FYS we champion the importance of flow massively by tapping into and accessing a continuous stretch in motion, via movement.

This method is another tool to add to your existing toolbox to support you in navigating your way to optimal wellbeing in your mind and body.

Play

Emotions are energy in motion. Our feelings live in our body.

By way of motioning our spine we are able to shift our mood and mindset in powerful ways.

Connecting to our feelings via moving our body is something that really underlines the FYS method

In 2023, I brought back a workshop that was really successful in 2022 titled Free Your Spine to Free Your Mind.

As the title implies, this workshop centered around movement, stretching, and clearing the mind. We removed all of the tables and arranged the chairs in a circle to open up the space. Talking to Nicola afterwards, she said the session went even better than in 2022 and people really opened up, let go, and pushed themselves even when it felt awkward to do so.

Moreover, everyone walked out of that room talking to each other and smiling and that to me is what makes our event beautiful.
