About

I am honored to Be a GYROTONIC® Master Trainer and PreTrainer in the Gyrotonic and GYROKINESIS® Methods. I have been teaching The Gyrotonic Method for 24 years, and am certified in all of the specialized equipment. Gyrotonic is one of my greatest passions, and I continue to update my studies yearly. I have been fortunate enough to be able to study with Juliu Horvath regularly. I strive to travel and meet trainers from all over the world. This method has enabled me to live a life without pain, and helping others to experience this freedom is one of the best parts of what I do. One of my goals now is to inspire new Instructors and welcome them into the Gyrotonic Family.
