GYROTONIC® & GYROKINESIS® MASTER TRAINER
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I live and work on the unceded, traditional territories of the Coast Salish peoples, whose ancestors have lived here and cared for these lands and waters since time immemorial. This acknowledgement does not take the place of authentic relationships with Indigenous communities, but serves as a first step in honoring the land we are on. These communities are still here, and many indigenous people are strong and thriving. We honor the people past and present who belong to this place.
MY ETHOS AS A STUDIO AND TEACHER
I provide a nurturing environment focused on you. Offering one-on-one instruction on all of the GYROTONIC® equipment, group GYROKINESIS® classes (stool, mat and standing work), professional teacher training in all aspects of the GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® methods, and Somatic Experiencing® trauma resolution support.
The private, and fully equipped studio is dedicated to your individual health and fitness goals. Specifically designing training to support, challenge, and strengthen you. Teaching more than just choreography and exercises, I help you develop a greater understanding of the body’s function and your movement potential. I want you to gain a knowledge of how to apply GYROTONIC® concepts to your daily life, sports, dance, and recreation.
Specializing in GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® level 1 and continuing education programs, I offer training for the beginner to experienced teacher, bringing 25+ years of teaching experience to your educational process.
We are a body positive studio, and believe that all bodies are innately beautiful and gifted. Everyone is welcome here! We are invested in your health, and we believe you should too.
