If I had a different life, one without hubby and kids, I think I would have been the activities director on a cruise ship (or a star on Broadway, except I can't sing!)   I love to travel and party, and without needing a drink, I am always the first one on the dance floor.  I am extremely outgoing and often annoy and embarrass my children by striking up conversations with people on the grocery checkout line or the beach.  Though I am a very safe and effective personal trainer, anyone will tell you that I truly shine in a room full of fitness participants.  My goals are fun, effectiveness, and safety.  I try to drive home form form form through fun phrases, demos and  excellent cuing refined over (gulp) 20 years of teaching!  I love teaching beginners and also going nuts with my regulars who have it all together and can really push themselves.  As a veteran teacher, however, I know that I will rarely get a class in which everyone is at the same level, so I offer options.  I tell participants to choose the one that is right for them today, and not to worry about what anyone else is doing.   

I taught at Sandals Royal Carribean in Jamaica several years back, and was told that I did a great job, but as I have been growing both a business and a family, I have not gone away for a  long time.  

I started teaching yoga in my basement studio in 2003 (while I still worked at a gym).

In 2005 I started renting space at a dance studio.

In 2010 I leased a small studio

January 1 2012 I opened Heron Creek Yoga (1,500 sq feet) in a strip mall and have had a very successful first year.  

I can understand people with accents and am great at Charades, which has led me to be chief communicator and interepreter whenever I have travelled.  I can get by in French and Italian.

I have an Honours BA in English from Wellesley College, Wellesley MA
