About
I have taught Tai Chi for several years. Many of my students are people who have Parkinson's Disease. Many aren't. Either way, I believe in meeting people where they are: Whether they are a complete beginner or if they have physical challenges, we can make it work.
I really enjoy finding out who my students are as people and watching them progress in their skills.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
As a coach, my first questions are these: What are your goals? What's been holding you back, so far? How determined are you to achieving them?
As a Tai Chi instructor, I watch my students closely and I ask them about what challenges they have. Every one is/was a beginner at some point. And you only get to go to your very first Tai Chi class once. Let's have fun with it.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am:
A certified, professional Life Coach. I did my training through IPEC.
A certified Tai Chi Instructor
A 200-hour Yoga Teacher certification in Yin Yoga.
Formal training in mental health awareness, mindfulness and meditation
