Biography
Noël has completed the Nia White, Green, Blue, Brown and Black Belt trainings and the Nia 5 Stages training. Noël is based in the NSW South Coast.
“I discovered Nia in my 50’s and loved the instant rekindling of my ‘dormant dancer’. It was such fun and my health improved dramatically. As a health professional (Registered Psychologist and Speech Pathologist), I experience in myself and observe in others – Nia is an effective anti-depressant, de-stressor, confidence builder, mindfulness practice and sustainable joy giver!
My body shape has changed and sustained for the better. I enjoy the company of like-minded and yet unique spirits in Nia classes – both in my community and across the world; participating in Nia classes in Australia, Paris, Scotland, USA, New Zealand and on a yacht in Greece – a good way to meet people! My current focus is to encourage others to share this joyful movement practice with younger and older. I would love Nia to become embedded in our world for people to enjoy for centuries to come.”
