Thank you Arrow – if it wasn’t for your guidance, that put me on the path within, and helped me develop my daily practice – I would never have reached the truth inside. I wish you well on your new journey, and trust that I will see you again when the time is right. Thank you for being an amazing teacher.”

Lee Brain

Mayor - Prince Rupert BC

“The Taoist yoga practice has truly changed my life.  I had no expectations going in except “living with chronic pain”.  With Arrow’s healing guidance I have released years of stored stress from my body which directly contributed to my failing physical condition.  With only five months practice, I am feeling healthier and stronger than I have in almost a decade, and the physical benefits are only part of the process.  Again, with Arrow’s compassionate direction I have connected to my true self by uniting body, mind & soul.  Arrow, I will be forever grateful having you in my life

Lana Rhodes

Nutritionist

“Thank you Arrow!  This training was life changing for me.  To break into my soul is a great gift.  My awakening is that I am LIGHT.”

Jean Dresen

Executive - Retired

“Arrow,  I’ve really enjoyed how all the information has come together.  Understanding the steps has made so much sense  and is so confirming for all the changes I’ve felt this past year.  Thank you for all these great workshops you have provided for us. The Yoga practice and your great facility and workshops have helped to truly transform my life. Many blessings to you… and thank you for being a great role model.”

Sheila Watt

“A year ago, I was diagnosed with early stage Parkinson’s Disease.  The main symptoms were tremors in the right arm and leg, and loss of coordination such as swinging the right arm while walking.  I started practising at Heart Drum Beat a month ago and attended at least 4 classes per week.This week I had appointments with my neurologist and Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor. They both told me they saw an improvement over my last visit and the TCM Doctor asked me what exercise I was doing. Overall, I feel more energetic and have regained coordination and flexibility.

Ed Bosman

Retired Professor - IT Consultant

“I find these trainings joyful, playful, unifying, opening, warming, calming. freeing, true and just. Like a feeling I’ve had but not known the language of or way to fully express. Peaceful, opening a door to what is one-ness, grounding, exuberant and so grand about life and living, bringing the now into focus, bringing walls of separateness down. Arrow, keep as you are. Keep reaching others and opening doors just as you are now. ”

Alison Phillips

Tall Ships Crew

“I have attended classes for a month, 4 – 5 days a week, and in that short time, have noticed greatly increased energy and a sense of well-being. The instruction is professional, relaxing yet challenging, with a lot of information unfolding in the practice. I love it!”

Jo Anne

Retired Kinesiologist

“Being in my 80’s I see a similar generation gap, to when I was a child.  I can remember my grandparents and their friends resisting replacing horses with the automobile.  They were critical of radio and telephones. It is not comfortable to accept change and stay with the popular opinion.  For a few years now, I have been training with Arrow to accept change as it happens around me.  By discovering what is happening now rather than reflecting on the past or trying to anticipate the future.  The training is about: 

  • Who am I
  • Why am I here?
  • What do I want?

I am learning my answer to these questions, which gives me great comfort.  I am also feeling physically better doing the Yoga exercises.”

Gerry Craig

Retired Executive

“I’m sharing this because I’ve tried many healing services but Arrow truly gives more insight into how energy moves through every part of your body and how your awareness can help your body to heal.”

Diana Schroeder

Retired School Teacher

“Beyond expectations. Very intense experience – moving, meaningful, real. Feeling unconditional love & compassion through the structured experiences … and hope. All that I need is in my soul. I have been practicing for over two years and continue to unravel the mental patterns, conditioned, habitual responses and physical blockages that serve my personality. I am clearer about my true desires and am mindfully setting intentions to grow my core self or soul. The application of this practice changes the way I see the world, for which I am very grateful. It is a huge shift from my “psychological” orientation which I had cultivated through my years as a mental health professional, nurse and counselor.”

Christin Keeler

Retired Psychiatric Nurse

“Arrow, I feel deeply grateful for today’s experience. The concepts resonate so clearly and so simply with what I know to be true. Thank you.”

Dr. Dorle Kneifel

MD

“Hi Friends, Wishing you happiness and health!  I want to share with you a practice that has been working very well for me in achieving both ? I have been studying and practicing Taoist yoga and energy practice for 18 months and find it helpful in identifying, refining and achieving my goals.  Healthy body, mind and spirit are foundational to this and the practice reflects this multi-dimensional nature.”

Nancy Hofer

Environmental Planner, City of Courtenay

I spent six months working with Arrow while she had her studio Heart Drum Beat in Prince Rupert, BC. The work with her opened up places I was finally ready to look at, and the experience that unfolded was one of the most challenging, rewarding, and powerful transformations I’ve gone through as a person. The workshops were accelerated versions of the in class work. The home practice was where it really opened up for me and lent itself to my work as a weaver. By no means have I completed the process. For anyone ready to do the deep, hard work of the inner world, this practice is a grounded and profound tool and guide. I feel blessed to have encountered it and for what it offers. Thank you Arrow!

Meghann O'Brien

Professional Snow Boarder, First Nations ChilKat Weaver

“Arrow, I sincerely appreciate and value the Do-in classes and instruction you provide. Regular practice and your mentorship are continuing to develop and facilite a healthy, inner and secure sense of confidence and well-being that I am growing and carrying with me daily, both, in my inner and outer world experiences. As I continue to grow with the practice, I consistently experience more joy and peace through out my days! Wheee J Chunjikiun”

Tree Murdock

Administrative Assistant

“I am so grateful for this practice. I feel strength growing in my core. I feel stronger and more centred. I am so grateful for having an actual PHYSICAL connection to the spiritual concepts that I have studied. This practice has given me practical tools I have been searching for to strengthen and connect my body and mind on all levels, emotionally, spiritually, etc. For once I can actually FEEL my chakras and some of the connections to my various energy bodies (ie: emotional body) that I had previous to this only read and studied about. Thank you Arrow. I look forward with excitement (in the present of course, so enjoying this) to shedding more layers as I come ever closer to living as my authentic self. Howa’a, Migwitch I am so grateful thank you.”

Christa Barette

Certified Yoga Instructor

“Arrow is a fantastic teacher. Her program and personal guidance has shown me how to find my own answers. I am amazed at how my life and mental process has changed in such a short time. I am more aware of my ‘patterns’ and no longer let my emotions control my life. If you are ready to find your true self she can guide you on the path.”
