My Methods
Pilates, Spinning, Yoga, and The Lotte Berk Method
After retiring from the ballet world, I had a great desire to move in a way that lengthened my body, kept it strong and lithe and gave me joy. I fell in love with the original method created by Joseph Pilates. It is the real deal. I decided to become a teacher to have the knowledge just for myself until I realized I had a gift for teaching. I fell in love with the process and watching my clients achieve their own better health through movement and I was hooked. At the same time I have a multi-tracked mind. I love, love, love all different forms of movement so I then found myself getting certified in spinning and yoga and had a lovely mentor teaching me the Lotte Berk method. They all have so much to offer, and it’s incredibly fun combining it all to create different workouts for different bodies whether you are a professional athlete or have been sidelined due to injury. Come join the crazy fun!
Folk Herbalism
While sitting in meditation I heard a gentle whisper that said, “go sit with plants.” This was interesting to me because I am the only one in my family growing up that does NOT have a green thumb. I have killed every plant I have brought home…Sigh…
I did however listen to this voice and went straight to the computer and googled herbalist schools near me and as the Divine would have it there it was The Gaia School. I immediately emailed, was put on the waiting list as it was full but I just knew the timing would unfold beautifully. I was enrolled a year later and it was a calling I really had no idea my heart was aching for. Come join me in the magic of medicinal herbs and wild weeds to enhance the wonderful being you are!
Meditation
For many years I dabbled in meditation thinking that I might never really achieve that state of peace. But again as the Divine would have it I heard that whisper of my great intuition and decided to look for Transcendental meditation recommended to me by a soul sister and mentor.. I looked up the nearest center and yet again as magick would have it, it was walking distance from my home. (Of course I live in L.A. so I drove but still I could have walked if I wanted to.) This changed everything! It was so simple and straightforward and has been my guide to the ever deepening connection to myself and ALL that is. I do not teach ™ as this is an involved process ( it is in my future) but I will guide you to finding your own way into your place of peace.
Your Own Self Love Affair
People have often asked me how I recovered from my eating disorder and the only true answer, simply, is I fell in love with myself. I surrendered to LOVE, not the external love but the love that IS us, breaths us every breath. The love,The One moving through us connecting us to ALL. This was/is a painful, amazing, debilitating, joyous, messy, and THE MOST MAGNIFICENT journey of a lifetime. If food addiction is living and ruling your existence, know there is grace and freedom awaiting you and I would love to be a part of your great adventure.
Play
As we make the decision to step into transformation it can feel ominous. I am here to remind you that we came to this incarnation to yes learn but also to PLAY! We came for all of it. So remember this is fun and joyous, new and challenging, scary and exhilarating. There is no ‘have to, it’s simply a welcome home to that voice, that whisper, your intuition that is asking to go deeper, richer, truer, and wilder! Welcome to your Sacred Wild!!
