The Swara Project

Slow living and healthy nutrition have transformed my life, and are the main inspirations behind the natural way in which I want to share my knowledge with others.

 

Before health coaching and teaching yoga, I worked for many years in tourism in Canada, as a concierge in luxury hotels, enhancing guests’ experiences. Prior to this, I worked for banks, large corporations and retail stores. During this time, I traveled the world as much

as possible, looking for answers on how to live according to my own desires, dreams and instinctive pull towards nature.

 

One of the main drivers behind my self-development journey was to better understand, and heal, my health conditions – my skin, PCO's, scoliosis & leaky gut conditions. I have witnessed disease almost my entire life – my own, my grandfathers, and many others around me. Now, following my various studies, experiences of different lifestyles, diets and varied careers, I have come to believe that those who live a lifestyle different to that which their inner nature truly needs will be more prone to developing a disease. To me, a large cause of ill health is living with an unease in your soul, an uneasiness in your being. Today I am pulling all my knowledge together in order to help others by creating a haven of peace designed to serve those seeking healing and change.
