About Me
I have been a Personal Trainer, Fitness Instructor and Nutrition Specialist since 2002. Over the years, I have continued to acquire skills and further my education in various healing modalities including Pilates, Yoga, Reiki, Reflexology and Shamanic and Andean healing techniques. My approach to each client is based on my kinesthetic approach of feeling what is best as their medicine. Learning how to use our own intuition, listening to our body’s feedback and hearing what it is telling us we need, we can supply it the nutrients it is asking for in order to arrive at a level of wellness that is authentic and true.
Blending one or more techniques to facilitate a comfortable, safe and empowering experience. Just as no two people are the same, no two sessions are the same.
