I truly believe that teaching is not just a job,
but a way of life.
My passion for nurturing the relationship between client and body."
While competing on a national and international level, I was buying, selling and training horses; in addition to training students.
I have had a fusion in my spine c6 and c7. I have also had knee surgeries that kept me from achieving my goals and I was in consent pain.
Not only did GYROTONIC® and Yamuna® Ball rolling give me relief from my chronic pain but it also regained my strength. For riding, training horses and my everyday life.
