I am excited to be joining Embody! I was born and raised in Michigan, and moved to Hudson -- just over the river in Wisconsin -- this past December. My passion for fitness began when I attended Wayne State University working towards my B.F.A. in Dance. Part of my dance curriculum was taking Pilates. Where I quickly realized the benefits of fitness and injury prevention. After graduating, I taught dance in the Metro-Detroit area for over 20 years and danced with the Mack Ave Dance Co, LaMarre and Dancers, DDC Dances, Inovus, and Art Lab J. Through the years, I have had the pleasure of working with various renown Physical Therapists, Body Builders, and Master Instructors. Leading to my certifications in STOTT Pilates, NASM Personal Training, GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS®.
I’ll admit, when I was first introduced to Gyrotonic I wasn’t sure what to think of the method. Once I had my first session, I knew Gyrotonic was what I was missing. Gyrotonic was the first method of fitness that actually released my hip flexors and increased true abdominal strength -- while also bringing a sense of calm and peace to myself and body. I love witnessing my clients' excitement as they recognize their progress—whether it's feeling stronger on vacation, keeping up with their grandkids, or moving through daily life with greater ease.
Outside of fitness, summer is my favorite time of year, every chance I get, I am on the lake paddle boarding and enjoying nature.
I am excited to be part of Embody and am looking forward to working with you!
