Kinesiology didn’t just catch my interest; it felt like coming home. It was ‘love at first balance’ for me. Kinesiology not only filled a void in my life but also helped me connect with my higher self, answering many of my lifelong whys:
- Why I’ve been a genuine advocate for health
- Why teaching has always been a passion of mine
- Why I forge such a strong bond with new mothers and their babies
- Why I understand the crucial link between physical movement and learning
- And most importantly, why I’m committed to being the change I wish to see in the world
Kinesiology catalysed my personal and professional growth, pushing me beyond my perceived limits. It’s been a tool for my well-being and a medium through which I help others find their balance and reconnect with their core selves.
