How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
The fundamental level of neuromuscular health is good posture. The first step with my clients is to identify and resolve postural issues that are creating aching muscles and joints. I provide a comprehensive program of self-myofascial release, stretching, and corrective exercise. Beyond the corrective phase, I coach my clients in how to become stronger while becoming more flexible through carefully balancing the musculoskeletal system.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Self-awareness, both in terms of bodily awareness and psychological awareness of one's self-destructive habits. Secondly, to continually stoke the burning fire of motivation to make real, permanent change.
What do you love most about your job?
I love the "light-bulb moments" when a client reaches a new level of understanding of her/himself and when they are easily able to perform a movement that was previously too difficult.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I wanted to offer more than yoga-flavored aerobics and watered-down meditation techniques. I wanted to dedicate all of my labor to healing and strengthening people.
Why should our clients choose you?
I possess excellent skills in yoga, meditation, and personal training that I can deploy to achieve the client's goals. While I take my work very seriously, I have a sense of humor that makes each session fun.
