FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Yoga lessons are typically by the hour and in person. I have a small home studio where clients come to practice, or I can travel to you for a fee of approximately $0.50/mi. I do also offer 30 minute sessions, virtual sessions and discounts for packages. Groups rates are estimates only and there may be some flexibility in pricing for families/couples. Wellness Coaching and/or Virtual Personal Training are offered only as packages as one session just isn’t going to get you the results you’re looking for. Please contact me for my corporate rates.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
New clients and I will discuss medical history as well as current lifestyle routines and goals. In our first session together I will assess your posture, alignment and balance and determine a unique plan that is custom to your unique body. If we are working together for pain, we will move through some posture specific for reducing pain and you can expect to feel better in the very first session. If we are working together for coaching, we will also discuss medical history, current lifestyle routines and goals, as well as discuss your eating habits and come up with some action steps you can take from day one to start working towards your goals. Wellness coaching clients and I typically meet in person once and virtually once each week. Personal training clients and I discuss current fitness ability and goals, I assess your posture and functional movement patterns, then I get to work on designing a program that works for you. In whatever path you choose, clients can expect to feel seen, heard and respected every step of the way. It doesn’t matter if I think X will be the best path forward or if X worked for someone else, what matters is that we find a solution together that you are willing to commit to. The coaching and teaching process is very collaborative and full designed with YOU in mind.

I also completed a full year mentorship in yoga postures specifically for pain relief in 2022 with Yoga Therapist, Christian Leeby, who was a student of BKS Iyengar himself. In 2023, I became a Somatic Movement Educator after completing a year-long training course with Eleanor Criswell Hanna of Hanna Somatics and the Navato Institute of Somatic Research.
