Who I am…
A Teacher at Heart
Hello~
I have always been drawn to movement ~ Roller skating was my first love, followed by gymnastics, weightlifting, and then dance.
Fast forward to 2005... This is the year I graduate
Cum Laude from the Cornish College of the Arts Dance Department, AND discover the Gyrotonic Method! Once Gyrotonic exercises became a steady part of my weekly practice I experienced dramatic improvement in my dancing. In 2007 I received the first of many certifications, and became an instructor.
In 2021, I expanded my toolkit once again by becoming a certified Balance Specialist. This is the work that I wish I had discovered while I was a dancer! (Side note~My favorite juicy tidbit of information on this topic is this.... In a healthy body, balance does not deteriorate with age, it atrophies from lack of use).
What I love most about teaching are those magic moments when a client exceeds their own expectations!! I truly have fun being innovative, and incorporating other types of exercises from my years of dance training and beyond.
Get ready to FLOW ~ GROW & GLOW!!

Knowledgeable Training Expertise
Functional movement is at the root of each session… After years of teaching I have honed in on teaching tools that help educate each client about their anatomy; including but not limited to bones, muscles, connective tissues, organs, and the fascial support system. As a client you will learn about the function of your body in a way that allows for increased awareness, and problem solving. I will use all tools at my disposal to assist in this educational process be it anatomy books, imagery, hands-on education, props, etc.
