My passions have always revolved around working with
and refining the human body through movement.
My previous endeavors are in the realm of professional ballet, and
culminated with performing contracts with the Joffrey
Ballet, New York City; and the
Pennsylvania Ballet, Philadelphia
(1985-1991). Years of extensive training and performing experience with
artistic movement and dance then led to positions as a dance instructor and
choreographer. In the early 1990�s I found myself playing hard and competing by
foot and bike in the mountains of Utah and Colorado. And I
comfortably found my place as a personal trainer within the health and fitness
industry in San Francisco
during 1997. By 2000 �TAV Lifestyle� Sport Conditioning and Fitness Training
was up and running strong, and I chose to move the business to beautiful Los Angeles in 2004.
In addition to a focus on �functional� strength
conditioning, my knowledge and training experience extend to Individual-Sport
Specific Training; Group Athletic Conditioning; Off-Season Training; Post-Rehab
and Injury Prevention. And as an instructor of group fitness, I have taught
classes in Spinning; SAQ (Speed, Agility and Quickness); and Dance (Classical,
and Contemporary techniques).
My personal interests include laughter, a love of life
and any outdoor adventures by foot, mountain bike, snowboard, skis, rollerblades, and in or on
the water. Plus, I am active participant and lover of the cultural and
performing arts.
