When I began my journey with
Pilates in 2000, I had no idea that it would take
me to so many new places -- challenging not only my
body, but my mind, heart and spirit. Pilates
enriches my life on many levels. It is one of the
major influences that converged in powerful personal
and professional growth and transition into the
second half of my life. Further it has redefined
the shape of my body and enables me to reach and
maintain new levels of strength and flexibility. It
informs my active lifestyle, enhancing performance
in athletic activities and perhaps the most
challenging sport of all, juggling the demands of
daily life. Now I find great joy in guiding
others to discover the benefits of Pilates and to
enrich their lives through movement.
I am thrilled
to bring my signature blend of technical expertise,
creative style and contagious enthusiasm to Pilates
Body by Valentin. I am certified by the Pilates
Method Alliance and Turning Point Studios Full Mat
and Apparatus Certification (474 hours training).
Additional, ongoing training includes Stott,
Powerhouse Pilates, Elizabeth Larkham, Tom McCook
and Valentin. I have over two decades of experience
in the health and fitness industry, as a health
promotion consultant, group exercise instructor and
personal trainer. |
