I am passionate about claiming our minutes for health and for helping people be with their bodies in effective ways to increase ease and fluidity. I am an experienced teacher and I love teaching! This will be a festive evening complete with handouts to take home to carry on the work, goody bag, beverage, cheese and dark chocolate. It supports two (new) local businesses, too!
