Let's talk to see if my movement work is a good fit for you.

I offer movement sessions in Egyptian style bellydance, Restore Your Core® method and Mat Pilates.

I work with women who want to gain awareness of their patterns and learn new core strategies to help with issues related to diastasis recti, prolase, low back pain, symptoms of what may be a "weak core" ; women who want to get to exercising more efficiently and gain strength and function.

I'd love to hear your movement and body story; what may be in your way, and how you imagine your journey and goals.

Once you schedule a time to talk, you'll be sent an email with a link to a short questionnaire to set the groundwork for our chat.

Plan on setting aside about 20 minutes.

Looking forward to meeting you!
