How I got started…

From playing soccer competitively to intense HIIT classes, and hiking the Rockies to traveling the world, I’ve always pushed my physical boundaries. However, the pain of being a weekend warrior finally caught up with me. I was in search of a movement therapy that would help me do everything that I love— only better.

I am so grateful to have discovered the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® in 2016 in Vancouver, BC. Taking weekly GYROTONIC® lessons and GYROKINESIS® group classes transformed my body and mental health. The natural movements released tension caused from stress and previous injuries. This empowered me to delve deeper into just how connected the body is with the mind. My belief that a healthy body equals a healthy mind deepened and brought new meaning to the concept of inner strength.

Over the COVID-19 pandemic, while the world struggled to reinvent a new normal, the mindfulness and rhythmic movement of my personal Gyrokinesis practice was truly a lifesaver. I made the thrilling decision to make a career change and become a Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis Trainer. In Spring 2022, I began teaching in Calgary, Alberta, and instantly loved having a direct part in bringing calmness and strength to my clients. While my teaching experience began over 10 years ago, being able to share the benefits of movement therapy with others has been immensely rewarding and life changing. Teaching the Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis Methods in studio is a culmination of my many loves: educating others, fitness, and holistic health.

In late 2022, I relocated to the bustling city of Toronto, Ontario. For the first two years I taught alongside Master Trainer Jane Gotch and Trainer Helgi Maki at their studio in the Ossington neighbourhood in Toronto. In the early Spring of 2025 I moved up to Richmond Hill, Ontario, in order to teach at SBODY Studio with Studio Owner/Trainer, and friend, Serena Hong. I am very grateful to be a part of a community where I can thrive in my journey for better health for my clients and myself.

I would love to hear from you regarding any questions or inquiries. Please visit my Contact page. Hope to see you in the studio!

Client Testimonials

  • “Sydney is a knowledgeable and excellent instructor! Her sessions have helped me become more mindful of my posture and body, and I’ve been able to apply what I’ve learned in my daily life. I highly recommend her for her expertise, guidance, and ability to make each session both effective and enjoyable!”

  • About a year before I started my weekly Gyrokinesis sessions with Sydney, I experienced a fall down an escalator, in addition to sciatica which makes walking and daily activity very difficult. However, with the gentle exercises that Sydney chooses for me, I’m able to follow along well, and always feel regenerated with little to no pain afterwards. I even have been able to do floor work exercises from which I am now able to easily get up from the floor—a feat I hadn’t experienced in years! I look forward to my weekly sessions, even though I’m advanced in age. I’m eagerly looking forward to Springtime gardening. Thank you Sydney for introducing me to the Gyrokinesis Method. It’s making such a positive difference in my life.”
