How I Can Help You — A Prescription for Wellness


My services are built on the scientific and practical knowledge that moving comfortably and effectively through your life is achievable. Most of what you have come to expect as simply the discomfort of aging and the stress of living can be significantly reduced or eliminated.  In many instances, we can prevent certain occurrences from happening again.

Yes, the medical community must help to diagnose the condition and suggest a path to wellness, but we need to help develop and participate in our own individual Prescription for Wellness.  I can help you do this. 
    Wellness Activities

    Your wellness activity could be anything — dance, sports, a hobby.  All programs can be designed to warm you, work you and therefore, make you comfortable to joyously live each day.

    Since it is you in the driver’s seat, please start your journey today.  Read below the list of ways I can help.  Then, contact me to discuss the development of your personal Prescription for Wellness.

    Tap Dancing as a Wellness Activity
     
    You may have noticed that integrated in my class schedule are many levels of tap instruction.  I believe that tap dancing is a viable path to wellness — as it offers heart and bone health enhancement, flexibility, strengthening and, as a bonus, it’s fun and good for the brain!  Should you choose to go in that direction, I would like to work together to teach you all I’ve learned and enjoyed from tap dancing in the Lambent Hughes style.
