The Studio
Opening a studio was not in my plans. I just wanted to teach. But in 2018 when Miriam Barbosa, Master Trainer and one of the earliest students of founder Julia Horvath, decided to return to New York, that left five teachers in Columbia trained by her with nowhere to practice and teach. It was a leap of faith to open my first studio in Five Points. I am happy to say that four years later, and a just in time pre-COVID-19 move to my home studio in 2020, it was all worth it!!! I find joy in helping my clients discover themselves in new ways – everyone’s journey is different, but they are all positive.

While she has experience teaching clients from 20's to 70's, her passion is teaching the GYROTONIC® method as a component of a healthy aging regime.
