About
Together we elevate our practice and inspire others to embrace their own paths to wellness…
I believe in achieving overall wellness using the Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis movement systems and have witnessed clients' bodies change dramatically when committed to the work.I find joy in witnessing all body types and learning styles find strength, stability, and fascial and nueroplasticity.. Exploration leads to new awareness and I encourage movement expression in a safe, fun and supportive environment. It’s remarkable how with one’s continued exploration into muscular and neurological pathways through tensegrity and triplaner movement patterning, we find mental clarity and a deep, connected, tensile strength.
I am certified in GYROTONIC® Level 1 and 2, Archway, GYROTONER®, Jumping Stretch Board, Leg Extension Unit and in GYROKINESIS®; my specialized certifications include GYROTONIC® Applications for the Fascial Body, High Level Athletes, WingMaster, for Dancers and GYROKINESIS® Essentials, Cardiovascular Breathing and Sacred Geometry. I earned a Masters of Arts Degree in Dance Education from UCLA and am a former Adjunct Faculty member at Ventura College. I have also done extensive weight training, played varsity softball and love to ski.
I feel so fortunate to have trained with Specialized GYROTONIC® Masters; Lisa Marie Goodwin, Angela Crowley, Donna Place, Clyde-Rae Jolie Ashe, Jill Denison, Dana Gringas, and my dear friend and mentor, Pamela Pilkenton; and have been truly inspired by Dance Educators Angelia Leung, Ron Brown, Judy Gantz, Margaret Hill, Judy Alter and Stella Matsuda.
