I am convinced my methods of healing connective tissue work, meditation, conscious breathing and “letting the body lead the way” expedited my healing. The second head injury taught me to let my dominate muscle groups relax as I began moving more subtly.

Also during this time, I got married, had two children (today both are teenagers) and expanded my business and client count with dogged determination and a desire to learn all I could about rehabilitation for myself and my clients.

In one self-funded educational trip to Seattle years ago, a team of students and I attended a cadaver lab where a doctor who trains med students taught us about our amazing core musculature and how through our internal system the mind truly connects to the body. Other selffunded classes in New York, Florida and Utah enlightened me to a connective tissue course involving “fascial awareness.” Other continuing education experiences are listed below.

Many of my clients are middle-age and older, taking part in sessions after surgeries, injuries or muscle imbalances. Educating clients on their bodies, repetitive movements and abilities to change these behaviors are so vital to my success and my clients’ success.

I’ve been watching and working with bodies for more than 25 years. My experience with different bodies in various settings and my own health history has taught me how to access and help people move more efficiently in their lives.

I also continue my Pilates and body healing education by studying with other innovative teachers across the United States.
