The body expresses what words cannot. 

For most of my adult life, I have been an avid dance class taker.  In the 90s, a Pilates studio opened next to my favorite Chicago dance studio, and I began taking mat classes. In the summer of 2004 completed PhysicalMind Institute's comprehensive instructor training course at Movements Afoot in NYC. 

A year later, I was managing a studio in LA that wanted to add GYROTONIC® exercise. Listening to a Master Trainer talk about it, I said to myself, "I'm going to do this and I'm gonna love it for the rest of my life." 

Another year or so later, in a Pilates workshop, I chatted with an instructor who was also a massage therapist. I had wanted to train in massage, but thought I couldn't at the time. She asked, "Why not?" There was no reason.

In the 20 years since I began this work, I have continued to learn and explore. Why does the body do what it does? How do the body and the mind work togehter? What do my chosen modalities add and how do they assist? Ultimately, it is my mission to help people find joy in their bodies.
