PHILOSOPHY:
I was diagnosed with moderate scoliosis at age 11. I was taken out of all my high impact sports - gymnastics, track, and even gym class for two years while being treated by a world renowned Chiropractor. The only physical activity I was allowed to do was swimming. Turns out it was the sport I was best at.
Water strengthened the muscles around my spine and healed me and I wanted to know how and why. I would go on a quest to explore the various ways water naturally heals the body, mind, and spirit. I studied aquacycling, yoga, floatation, swim coaching, water massage, water dance, water meditation, free diving, and water birth. I draw upon my training and knowledge to design water sessions that help people meet their goals.
Water has the ability to strengthen our muscles, calm our minds, and rebuild our wellness routine. Whether you are a triathlete needing stroke technique or have a surgery you are recovering from, let’s co-create the program that keeps you strong, confident and feeling good in the water and on land.
