From the first day I set foot in a Nia class, I was hooked. I danced my way through 2 pregnancies in 3 years and Nia has helped to keep me sane and energized, despite having no sleep! About a year after my 2nd daughter was born I decided to challenge and treat myself to a 40th birthday gift - The White Belt intensive. I had no intentions of teaching when I went into it. I needed something that was ALL MINE - something that nurtured me. By the end of the training I felt convinced that I wanted to share the joy of Nia with others. Simply put, it's the most fun I've ever had exercising. And I now have my Brown Belt! I am an Executive Coach (Certified Ontological Coach) with an M.Ed. in Adult Development, focusing primarily on Women's Leadership.
