Once you have made the decision to get into better shape, goal setting and a clear plan are essential. By learning to make your body and mind join forces, you reap remarkable benefits.
You want to feel better, look better, and gain confidence in your body.  This journey can be fun, rewarding--even relaxing.  My sessions blend the challenge and discipline of Pilates, weight training and aerobic conditioning.

My coaching begins with fitness fundamentals: core strength, flexibility, stamina, discipline and balance. 

These fundamentals serve as a framework and as a metaphor for everything (else) we want to be, do or have in life.  I believe in training the mind and body as one. 

Working through the body becomes a transformative and empowering path.

We will also explore the best and most nutritious food combinations for you. Every body is different; every body responds in different ways to different foods. Feeling and looking your best also requires discovering which foods work for and against you.

I have been applying these life-transforming disciplines for more than 25 years, and realize that all my clients have their own very specific and individualized needs.

By utilizing a unique blend of Eastern and Western philosophies and sciences, I assist my clients in reaching their goals, and in attaining an invigorating balance of mind, body and spirit.

Pilates

Pilates is a key element of the BodyCoach fitness program. Developed in the 1920's by Joseph H. Pilates, Pilates is a way to build strength and flexibility without adding bulk.  I was trained by Master Teacher Romana Kryzanowska, and I have the official Pilates apparatus in my studio.

Many professional athletes use Pilates for enhanced fitness and injury prevention.  Those who have sustained injuries find Pilates to be an ideal rehabilitative workout that can keep them in shape without further exacerbating their injuries. Pregnant women find that Pilates helps them stay fit while also teaching proper breathing and body alignment.

Shiatsu & Jin-shin-jytsu

My personal commitment to you is that you will walk out of a session with me feeling a sense of harmonious well-being.  To achieve this, the final phase of a session includes my own blend of Shiatsu acupressure and Jin-shin-jytsu.  You lie on your back on a specially designed massage table. Applying gentle pressure to energy points along the clothed body, I use my hands as jumper cables to free up and balance a clean energy flow.  Some have described the experience as a "phenomenal breakthrough," and others say it puts them in "a state of Nirvana."
