Pledge Health
About
I love helping people understand health and fitness. I create individual programs around Yoga, Movement and Flexibiliy, and Neuroplasty (mind and body). I provide assistance in understanding and balancing nutrition.
I love seeing the look on someone's face when they start to see progress. Progess comes in many forms. It may be that one wants to increase strength, or lose inches. It's the journey (progress), the destination (goal), and the satifaction from one that gives me the ultimate bliss. This is why I do what I do for a living.

When working with a neuroplasty client, they were able to progress from right brain to left brain exercises and the talk test easily. We were very proud of their success.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
When looking for a teacher, make sure they are NCAA accredited. There are five main companies for this accreditation. Ask for credentials.
They will ask questions to get to know oneself, make sure you're honest with oneself. They should be asking about ones health conditions, exercise experience, goals, sleep, nutrition, addictions and ones work habits (sedentary or active). They should be filling out paperwork and keeping it secure.
Ask about security measures. Ones privacy it upmost importance. I run a VPN on all my smart devices with encryptions and long, difficult, and rotating passwords.

Can you work with my needs, issues, goals, etc?
Ask for website so you can research them. (You can ask for references, but a lot of people like having their privacy kept private. Some will allow to post on the internet of success but will not allow an unknown person to call them out of the blue for a reference. People are very private for very obvious reasons.)
