An internationally renowned choreographer, she transforms the ice into a stage. She’s choreographed for innovative skaters such as, three-time Canadian Champion Emanuel Sandhu, her passion for skating is a refreshingly honest approach to the sport/art.

As a coach and choreographer, Lorna has worked with Lars Dresler, the Danish champion that she took to the Calgary Olympics,  Kevin Van Der Perren, who was ten times Belgian Champion,  and Jenna McCorkell, who was eleven times the British Champion, among many other very noteworthy skaters.

Years later, Lorna moved to Redondo Beach California, a setting that has become a perfect match for her creativity. While she continues to teach and coach in Southern California, she also works across the U.K. and Australia to coach and teache Skate of the Art seminars.

Lorna collaborated with Olga Maloney and Balbir Singh in The Creative Spirit of John Curry Ice Show and also made a Cameo appearance in the performance.
