I met Joel at the beginning of an intensive training program in health and wellness coaching. These professional level classes continued for nine months with active participation required. I was able to truly get to know Joel — as a colleague and on a personal level. His credentials are far reaching with certifications in the fields of fitness, health coaching and yoga. It’s his skills as a coach which embrace everything he does. Joel is a wonderful listener. Whatever he is working with a client on his thoroughness reflects an empathetic nonjudgmental style. Never pushing, he slowly and patiently builds trust in an environment of compassion and integrity. I recently reached out to Joel for beginner yoga studies via Zoom. Once again, I was impressed by his measured interest and ability to hear beyond my words. Gentle Yoga with Joel helps me feel calmer and centered as I go through my day. His support makes goal setting and progress achievable. Ellen Zeisler, BS, MA, NBC-HWC

Joel clearly has a deep understanding of the experience of the participant in his classes. His guiding dialogue shows an understanding of where minds might wander, where and when particular muscle tension might be experienced and ways to modify the practice for either greater comfort or greater intensity. His calm and relaxed confidence really adds a powerful dimension to the entire experience. I left feeling connected to myself and refreshed Simon M

I love Private Yoga with Joel! He has helped me to become more flexible and toned and I feel so much more relaxed after class. Being one-on-one means he’s always attuned to my specific needs and he can adapt for how I am doing that day. I never thought I would prefer virtual yoga, but I love how much time I save and I feel so much more comfortable doing Yoga in my own home without anyone watching me. Plus after class I can just relax on my mat on those days I need it. Highly Recommend!

I have been working with Joel for over a year. When I first started I wasn't sure what to expect or how I'd be feeling about all the work ahead of me. Honestly, I was overwhelmed. I knew that I was really tossing a mess of a individual at Joel. Joel is an amazing Life Coach. I use that term because every single time I met with Joel, not only was my body changing for the better but my heart and mind were also getting healthier. I would learn a new skill to use in my life. I never knew what to expect, but Joel never disappointed. It still amazes me how he can share an idea with me to use in my every day life and it would just resonate within my body and mind. It would give my life a new purpose and I couldn't wait to go out and practice my new skill. I quickly began to look forward to our meetings. I have become a better human being and not only for me but for others. I'm healthier in my mind, body and soul. This man is a true inspiration and for me a miracle that entered my life at the right time. This was a time in which, I felt lost and unsure that I would ever feel better. He never wavered and always has an unbelievable amount of energy. That energy is contagious and would make me want to work harder and harder. Even if I came with zero energy and was having a bad day, Joel could sense that and with compassion he would create my workout for that specific day. He has great awareness and will design the perfect workout for " that day" for you too. He makes me feel like I am his only client. That in itself, is so cool! I continue to learn and grow with Joel as my Life Coach. It's so hard to explain all he can offer you. Ya just gotta check it out. Last thought to share....Joel has a great sense of humor. For me, this is so important. To laugh and smile while you're working hard, is a true gift. One of many Joel has to share. Don't sit there and think anymore and wonder if you should meet up with Joel. Do it! I promise you will never regret this decision. He will treat you as an individual and establish your own workout that is set up just for your needs. He will change with you and listens to your requests each day. Thank you Joel for helping me find the new me.

I have a hard time shutting my mind off - when it comes to meditation so I normally do not do them after a few times of trying many years ago. I decided to give it another shot and saw Joel's 20 min body scan. Wow weee - it worked. I felt as if Joel was in the room with me and when my mind would start wondering I felt like he would perfectly chime in to re-focus. I have never felt such a state of relaxation. I didn't know it was possible for me - it was great. I highly recommend this.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
For Private Coaching - Once we’ve decided to partner together we’ll create a regular weekly schedule where your times are blocked off just for you. Depending on the time and frequency of our visits the rates vary from $90-$125 per session. Private Group Coaching starts at $120/hour session and we add a small charge for each additional Yogi:)
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When you partner with me, its all about YOU and we follow a 4 Step Process: When you partner with me we’ll follow a 4 step process where we: 1. Schedule a Discovery Zoom Call: We’ll learn more about your needs, abilities and intentions as well as answer any questions you have to make sure we’re the right fit to partner together. 2. Personalize a plan thats Meaningful & Achievable: Next, I’ll tailor a plan directly based on your needs, abilities, and intentions for your practice that’s both meaningful and achievable. 3. Take it Step by Step: From there, during our weekly one-on-one sessions I’ll help guide you through every pose and center your intuition as you become more deeply attuned to your body. This allows you to slow down, ask questions or go over a pose more deeply anytime you need. 4. Guidance & Support: Lastly, throughout the process I’ll be alongside you every step of the way so as you and your practice evolve we’ll work together to adapt and tailor to your changing needs. *I believe that creating a consistent practice is the most important element towards getting the greatest benefits of Yoga! Most of my clients work with me consistently 2-3x per week over the course of a longer period of time and I block off your times so that you can have peace of mind to create a sustainable practice.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My education is as a Certified Yoga Coach through Yoga Alliance with an additional Certification in Gentle Yoga. I am also a Professional Health & Wellbeing Coach, and hold a Masters Degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology.
