DENISE

Denise has been a Teacher, Trainer, and Lifestyle coach for 30 years. She began her career in Yoga and Personal Training and became hooked with Mindbody modalities.  The ability to tackle physical issues, help with stress management, and create relationships has been an extraordinary journey. 

Mindful movement Yoga and Pilates make up the backbone of my philosophy, I work with mind/body issues midlife and beyond, for men and women. I find my Private clients sessions focusing on those recovering from injuries, surgery, cancer recovery and clients diagnosed with osteoporosis. Pilates and Yoga are supportive modalities for anyone either dealing with daily issues or needing a bridge back to their routine.  Classes focus on fun integrated workout of Pilates, strength and fascial movement.  I love the Group setting which is energizing and builds community. 

My qualifications include Full Certification in STOTT Pilates, ACE Certified Personal Trainer, and 500 E-RYT Yoga Instructor (teaching at local studios for over 25 years, traveling teaching, and yoga teacher training).  These certifications reflect my knowledge but the biggest strength and one I enjoy the most is getting to know others and making exercise and movement fun and worthwhile. 

I've lived in Minnesota for 38 years, which has included a career in Art Gallery Management. I live in the St. Paul area, close to family with my husband and enjoy long walks with my Sheltie Pepper.
