Biography
Patricia (Trish) has completed the White Belt training (3 times!), The Art of Teaching (Green Belt), The Blue Belt, the Brown & Black Belt. Also several specialty trainings – Nia Moving to Heal (twice), Nia FreeDance, the 52 Moves, Nia Floorplay & the Nia 5 Stages.
She has attended a Nia training retreat plus several playshops and immersions with International trainers.
“I first discovered Nia in 2012 and immediately knew it was for me! I have always loved to dance, learnt ballet & tap as a child & studied Modern Dance at Teachers Training College. Over the years, I tried many different dance styles but none of them gave me what I was looking for. When I discovered Nia, I knew that I had found something special and gradually started to understand it’s depth. When I practice Nia, I experience a unique feeling of Joy & fulfillment.
I find that not only does Nia make me feel energized and alive at the end of each class but my mind, body, spirit & emotions feel more clear & in balance. I particularly love the self-healing aspect of Nia & am eternally grateful for the personal healing I have received from this unique lifestyle practice.
Having a background of over 40 years as a personal development/life skills facilitator, teacher, speaker, counsellor & retreat facilitator, I find that the Nia Technique perfectly completes my jigsaw puzzle & beautifully complements my teachings with my ‘Journeys of Self-Discovery’ community group.
I am excited to share my passion for Nia during my weekly classes, regular workshops & retreats and would love you to join me.”
