About

Hello!

I am currently located in Laguna Beach, California and own The Movement Lab/Gyrotonc Laguna Beach.

I have been teaching movement for over 25 years and continue to grow more passionate about my profession every day! I have taught many exercise systems and martial arts styles over the years continue to explore and refine my personal practice.

My focus over the last few years has been based around the concepts of natural movement and sustainability. I have been practicing the GYROTONIC® Method since 2002, and teaching since 2003– originally, in Boston, then Manhattan – prior to relocating to Albuquerque in 2006. I opened Gyrotonic Albuquerque in 2010 and expanded into The Movement Lab in 2019 to continue my exploration into natural movement methods. My greatest interest is sharing the experience of movement with my clients & students.
