What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a certified Body and Brain instructor and healer and health coach. I have attended training at our training center in Sedona AZ and learned from the top masters of this practice in America.

How did you get started teaching?
I was a corporate manager and had a great deal of stress in my job. I was overweight and not able to loose at all. I had been taking anti depression and anxiety mediations for over 10 years. It was suggested to me that I learn to meditate.
I came in a joined as a member, 6 years ago. Within 3 months, I was no longer taking my medications. I have lost a total of 90 pounds. My ability to teach this practice is a statement to the methods used being adaptable to everyone. My classes are challenging but can be done by any body condition.
What types of students have you worked with?
Our youngest student has been 7 and our olders is 83. This practice is adaptable to all body types and conditions. That is why an introductory session is so important. Many people try yoga, tai chi, or other kind of exercise without knowing what their body condition is exactly. When we know your body condition we can reccomend the best program for you. Come and give us a try.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Ensure your teacher can adapt their teaching to match your body condition. One size doe NOT fit all. You need to be comfortable in the space and with the instructor.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
1. What are my goals? Do I want to reduce stress? Do I want to improve my flexibility? Do I want to loose weight? Do I want to increase my self confidence?
2. How much time will I committ to acheiving my goals?
3. Do I expect short term or long term results?
4. How much do I really want to change?
