MISSION STATEMENT
All
teachers bring their own history to their teaching. Mine is made up of a
lifetime of swimming,
scuba-diving, horseriding, tennis, dancing, fencing,
ice-skating; recovery from serious injury, child-bearing and rearing,
worldwide travel and a long spiritual journey of meditative practices –
plus a strong belief
in the the power of compassion, enthusiasm, humor,
magic and miracles.
I am
lucky to practice and teach several movement, awareness and healing
systems all with their own valuable benefits. I like to provide a client
with a complete package of well-being, whatever they need
at any given
time. Sometimes it is rehabilitation from injury, trauma, stress,
insomnia, fitness training, sensory exploration, letting go of thought
stories, motivation, encouragement, relearning, rediscovery, vigor,
strength and the space to dream, imagine, and succeed in their goals. I am
constantly motivated
and excited by my exceptional clients with their
inspiring goals that they will achieve or have
achieved through their
devotion to the challenges of learning to change.
