Lyn Olson has over 40 years of varied experience in the health and wellness world. Starting out as an Aesthetician and then a remedial sports massage therapist, she undertook further training in Pilates and Yoga, to combine all of these disciplines in her teaching. In her early 40’s she obtained a Batchelor’s degree from Brighton University, England in Midwifery (1st Class Honours). She worked as an NHS (National Health Service) community Midwife helping to develop a ‘healthy eating in pregnancy’ program whilst continuing to teach exercise. Lyn retired as a Midwife 7 years ago to concentrate on teaching embodied Somatics and functional yoga. She has a keen interest in nutrition, practices Tai Chi, and enjoys hiking, and weaving.

Lyn first came to Salt Spring in the 1980’s, bought property 10 years ago and now she and her husband are building their dream home. She adores all things Salt Spring and looks forward to thriving within and contributing to the community.
