How did you get started teaching?
Movement has always been a way of life for me. As a child I was a competitive gymnast and began coaching gymnastics at the age of 18. I found my path of Holisitic Health and Therapeutic movement during my college years while working with Special Olympic athletes. I majored in Special Education and Adapted P.E. which gave me experience working in various Physical Therapy offices both during college and out of school. In 1997 when my first daughter was born, I began my own business teaching gymnastics and therapeutic movement to children in schools, recreation centers, physical therapy offices and studios. After having my third child, I found Yoga and Pilates. I became certified and began teaching adult group classes and private Yoga and Pilates sessions. I found the adults who came to me all had therapeutic needs physically, emotionally or high levels of anxiety. Through our sessions and the practice of Yoga, Pilates, Mindful Breathing, Reiki and Aromatherapy they could find relief.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with people of all ages and ability levels, children through adults. Students who are seeking to ease anxiety, overcome physical or emotional pain or have therapeuitic needs.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I truly love what I do! I have the priviledge of working with people every day and hearing their stories of how the transforming power of Yoga, Pilates, mindful breathing and Holistic health practices are adding value to their life and helping them find more joy, peace and vitality.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
My advice is to find someone that has a holistic approach focusing on the needs of each individual person as a whole person, spirit,mind and body. Also, someone who knows how to modify and adapt the physical postures of Yoga and Pilates to each person.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students should know what their goals are, the amount of time they are willing to commit to those goals and a heart searching answer of how their life would be better having accomplished their goal.
