FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do offer discount pricing for clients who want to pay ahead for multiple sessions in advance. Multiple sessions are the best way for the client to get consistent care that leads to the kind of change and transformation they are interested in.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Before the first session I have the client describe to me the goals they are interested in attaining as well as the current state of their physical and mental health. We talk through any concerns they have based on past injuries, surgeries, or certain restrictions they feel they have. On the initial encounter, I guide the client through simple and uncomplicated movements guided by their breath. It is during the first session that I help the client see which parts of the body need the most attention. I have been described by previous clients as having the ability to work with them at their current level while providing safe challenges to help their body move towards positive change. After the first session I send the client their own personal home practice script so they can reinforce the concepts learned in the first session.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am registered with the Yoga Alliance as an RYT200 and have logged close to 2000 hours of teaching. By October 2019 I will have completed 500 hours of Viniyoga training. I have level 1 and 2 aqua yoga certifications and will be ATRI (Aquatics Therapy and Rehab Institute) certified by the end of 2019. I am also recognized through Yoga Alliance as a continuing education provider for yoga teachers. The Yoga Alliance is the governing body that provides accountability for yoga instructors. A registered teacher is required to meet a minimum number of continuing education hours and is provided with resources for quality teaching. I credit my engineering background as giving me additional insight into working with each student's individual body. In addition to the resources that Yoga Alliance provides for registered teachers, I continually study the breath and biomechanics from other high caliber resources such as the Brent Brookbush Institute.
