FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge $125/session for one-on-one classes but I also offer a discount for weekly corporate classes at your office space. I'm happy to discuss over the phone or via the Thumbtack app!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I typically like to chat with a potential customer on the phone first to ensure it is a good fit for all parties. I like to know if there are any specific goals the potential client is hoping to meet with our sessions and if he or she has any past injuries that we need to address. I also like my clients to know that I am a non-diet/non-weight loss trainer, which means I don't focus on the numbers on the scale. I focus on how exercise feels in the client's body, what makes them feel stronger, more balanced and more flexible.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
After many years of feeling like yoga was reserved for the flexible, I signed up for yoga teacher training with Gerhard Gessner at Prana Yoga Center in La Jolla, CA. During the training, I learned to turn my weakness into strength by creating playful sequences that go beyond stretching and tap into the true benefits of personal practice. I have focused my career on helping others become healthier. I hold a Fitness Instruction & Exercise Science Certification from UCSD extension where I expanded my knowledge of metabolic diseases, nutrition for athletes and exercise for special populations including older adults, pregnant women and youth fitness. I work with private yoga and personal training clients, ages 12 to 92, and I teach vinyasa flow classes with an emphasis on proper alignment and breath-work.
