Personal Training

I have been a Certified Personal Trainer through the American Council of Exercise since 2005. I  teach muscle conditioning on the stability ball and cycling (Spinning) at the Hampshire Regional YMCA.   I strongly believe in being proactive about health. It is important to sweat some everyday, and increase your heart rate! For most people, the trick is finding something you like to do and the doing it - everyday.  When you do what you enjoy it doesn't feel like a chore, its part of your life and it's fun!

My focus is core conditioning, strength training (with or without weights), and the stability ball, a useful tool that helps promote flexibility, strength, and balance. i am always exploring new exercises and techniques to strengthn and challenge muscles. I most recently have studied a very effective dynamic stretching technique called Active Isolated Stretching (AIS).  This method of stretching engages the opposing muscle group while holding the stretch for only two seconds.  The stretch is done repeatedly.  AIS both works to lengthen and strengthen major muscle groups as well as release fascia,  and  restore the physiology of superficial and deep fascial planes. I incorporate this type of stretching into all of my training sessions and most of my massages sessions as I beleive it is an important contribution to a healthy body.  

  There is no one thing you can do that will take care of everything in life. Health and vibrancy comes through making a commitment to yourself by giving your body the essentials: exercise, fresh foods, mental stimulation, and bodywork. In addition to teaching classes I enjoy getting out and hiking. Hiking is a great way to stay in touch with your body and the world around you.  We live in an abundant valley that provides many palces to explore nature year round!

Through a regular commitment of facilitated exercise, you will achieve your health and fitness goals. You will also be more relaxed, you will have less tension, and you will feel a thousand times better.

Testimonies
My (last) massage was/felt deeply healing, supportive of my health on many levels, but it was also really entertaining. The series of sensations were far more interesting than any movie; I felt li ...
