As a teacher and fitness trainer for over 30 years, I have had the privilege and pleasure of working with countless individuals in their quest for health and well-being. These opportunities come in a variety of formats, from my regularly scheduled classes and personal training in California, to fitness events, coaching and retreats nationwide.
Certified to instruct and experienced in teaching a wide variety of techniques, I specializing in teaching techniques that exemplify a body-friendly, holistically transformational, highly successful with lasting results approach. It is my practice to provide a platform of education, instruction, inspiration and support that has brought and continues to bring countless others to their own success when it comes to health, fitness, and overall well-being.
My movement roots are in Dance and Yoga. These positive experiences led to my studies and eventual advanced degree and certifications in fitness and physical education instruction. Thus, I gained certifications and expertise to teach in not only these dimensions, but also T-Tapp, Pilates and many variations of Aerobic Fitness and Resistance Training, which led to my recruitment by the Northwest Women's Health Clubs in Washington to create and develop their Women's Fitness Department. These experiences and others led to my eventual Certification as Head T-Tapp Trainer. I currently maintain T-Tapp Certifications in all T-Tapp Techniques and Levels of instruction.
My fitness approach is holistic, and my focus is "Master Your Fitness...and Move Your Life Forward!"
