Christopher is a movement instructor and mental health professional working in Hamilton and Toronto, Ontario.  He has worked in the field of mental health and addictions for over a decade and roots his teaching in that experience - placing a strong emphasis on practices that respect, support and encourage an individual’s innate resilience. Christopher teaches with the hope of helping people rebuild a connection to their bodies, expand their range of (e)motion, and reduce the impact of stress on their nervous system.  He’s passionate about building spaces that promote a sense of love, safety, self-compassion - and an untangling from shame. The latter is especially important and personal to him as a queer person co-creating 2SLGBTQ+ only classes.  His movement practice has been both a professional calling and a personal coming out and coming home. Christopher currently teaches at GoodBodyFeel in Hamilton, Ontario and offers mental health specific movement support/coaching through his emerging project Anchored Tides Wellness.
