About

My passion is trying to help people find joy in their bodies again.  So many times people aquire fear of movement as result of injuries sustained by an accident, surgery, disease, or age.

I began my therapuetic movement career in 2002 with the Stott Pilates Method at Equilibrium Studios in Bloomfield Hills, MI. On my first day of Pilates training at Equilibrium, I instantly gravitated to one of Julio's handmade GYROTONIC towers! I scheduled my first lesson that moment and fell in love with the freedom my body felt during my first session! (I couldn't wait to finish my Pilates training in order to start my GYROTONIC education!)

I find so much joy working with people who want to move and feel better. I have experience working with people living with Diabetes, MS, CP, Parkinsons, stroke, heart disease, scoliosis, joint replacements, spinal injuries, RA, EDS, and ALS. I also have experience working with those who are living beyond cancer. 

I am a divorced mother of 3 amazing adult children. I enjoy everything to do with horses, I love swimming/floating in the ocean (Gulf of Mexico), and I am facinated in how people move!! I am a survivor of extreme depression and anxiety (and still try to keep those deamons at bay). I am grateful for the support of the GYROTONIC community, and the ease and joy of movement the GYROTONIC method encourages!

In my spare time, volunteer at different Equestrian Therapy programs around the country.

My future goal is to learn move about women's health, organic/herbal nutrition, and to sail!
