My passion for teaching was revealed by the age of 6, when I would hot foot home from school to enlighten my preschool brother in the art of addition and subtraction. Later, as a competitive gymnast, the joy of accomplishing a new skill was matched only by the satisfaction of guiding a younger athlete to mastery. These days, striving to share my vision of fitness with those seeking to improve their posture, flexibility, balance and strength catapults me out of bed each morning. Growing up as the daughter of an elementary school teacher and marrying a high school Phys. Ed. teacher, it seems teaching is in my soul!

With 30 years in the fitness industry teaching and training in several Northeast Ohio facilities, I have had the privilege to learn more from my students about the unique ways in which our bodies move than they ever could learn from me. Gleaning from the wisdom of Joseph Pilates, the art of yoga and the grace of dance and Barre work, I endeavor to create exciting, inspiring safe and effective classes for my students.
