Experience as a dance choreographer has been an integral part of establishing an effective training style for me. My experience as a massage therapist has given me a much deeper understanding of the functions of the human body. Working with injured athletes and helping them overcome their injuries and getting back to their normal routine gave me another perspective of training my clients. It inspired me to design a program where I mixed Pilates, functional training and stretching exercises. Experience training kids, teaching the basics of sports such as tennis, swimming, boxing, soccer and volleyball. I have also taught ‘’natural fast food’’ cooking classes in London, UK. While living in London, UK I had the great opportunity to work with over weight people, helping them achieve a healthier weight through a balanced body and mind.
