I read about Nia in a local newspaper article and was intrigued. I had experienced
many years of illness and limited activity. Having begun the journey to wellness
following major surgery, I was yearning to move and express my spirit. I wept with
joy during my first wonderful Nia class. I later completed the white belt training
because I believe so deeply in what Nia has to offer: Joy of movement, health and
healing, strength, balance, personal growth and a sense of community....the list,
for me continues to grow! Nia is pure joy, and I love its creativity, expressiveness
and adaptability.  I feel my students and I are dancing down a beautiful path to
health and healing.

I fell in love with Nia the first time I saw and participated in it in 2003. After retiring
from the medical field, I became a white belt teacher and hope to spend the rest of
my life teaching this happy movement experience. I have taught people of all ages
and abilities and enjoy showing them how movement can bring joy into their lives.

The beauty that Nia brings out in individual students inspires me to teach this
lovely form of movement. I see a hand bent with age offer a heart felt gesture; I see
an athletic expression of energetic movement - both movements are gifts. I've
been fascinated with encouraging health both professionally and personally. My
master's degree is in health promotion with a focus in cardio-respiratory fitness. I
work in public health. I am a certified fitness instructor through the American
College of Sports Medicine and am certified to teach (and currently also teach)
yoga and spinning. I love to dance and love the fun, delicious movement, and
transformation Nia brings to myself and those I teach. Come play!
After years as a dance aerobics junkie, followed by a few years of getting
progressively out of shape, I found Nia. The day I took my first class I couldn't
stop smiling. I knew I'd found the right movement form for me: one I resonated
with and would have done even if it didn't have such a positive fitness outcome.
Teaching has been a natural outgrowth of loving Nia. As a professional
counselor, I've learned the value of having a safe place--a parameter for
self-expression without inhibition. Nia provides a structure in which we can
freely explore our bodies' potential--and have a blast at the same time!
