SHOUT OUTS!!!!
 

Wow, I can't say it hear from others, but I can say I hear it from myself, "I LOVE MY JOB!" This past season has been so rewarding. I've gotta brag on my clients real quick. Firstly, in the past...like 19 years ago, one of my favorite things to do was train fellow athletes, either in season or retired. I took many of my first dancers to Championships, winning FIRST Place when before working with me, they were not there yet. It's so exciting for them to experience that putting in extra time and effort really does pay off..BIG TIME! After working with them, I have had the pleasure, of working with a golfer, who's game went into winning swings, working with a Football player to recover from injury and many retired athletes that just wanted to feel, good movement in their bodies. There is something that is different about an athlete, that I will get to in a second, but first, fast forward to 19 years now. I am once again working with top athletes. Here are their successes. 1) one of my clients, longest client here in Wenatchee, just took 3 Place in the NATION for Tennis. This is a huge accomplishment!! WOW just WOW! Congratulations, Ellen. 2) A gymnast that I have been working with has gone up 4 PLACES on the beam... At State, Grace, finished 2nd place on beam...that was her struggling point. In her overall placement she has gone up 3 Places, ending her State Competition in 2 Place!!!! Incredible!! 3) Is my own daughter. She hears me when I talk to all of my clients, at times, I think my kids are up in their own world, but no, they do pop their ears up and listen. She had been struggling with her vault, and she really wanted to improve, also her coach would say things during practice that then she would come home and we'd talk about it. I can't push my children, like I can my clients, because well, I'm their mom, but I can encourage, so encourage I do. I simply said, "well, if you want my help in the studio, let me know." She did and we went to work. Really proud of her for taking 1st Place in ALL EVENTS! Taking overall 1st in her division at the State level, taking once again, this is her 3 time of accomplishing it, taking the HIGHEST SCORE OF THE WHOLE COMPETITION! and becoming 5 place in the nation!!! WOW just WOW!

Here’s the thing about athletes and clients who see and accomplish results and goals. They NEVER EVER tell me what to do in their session. They NEVER EVER question why I have them do what I ask them to do. They let me see their body for what it really is, not for what they want, not for what they think, they TRUST my eyes, my talent and my knowledge of 44 years of movement, 21 years of Pilates practice and 19 years of training. Together by them telling me what they are experiencing, we get their body to work more efficiently, effortlessly, with ease and breath. They recognize that the Pilates Method is a method that looks at each body from feet to head for what is and how it can be corrected, enhanced and moved. They are committed.

The other day, I was thinking about all of the dance and movement teachers I had from the age of 7 to 23.. I came up with 44 faces, bodies, eyes, talent and knowledge I was given from them. They are priceless, they are precious, they are near and dear to me. From in home instruction to New York City they gave me something that has allowed me to pass on to you.

Now, for me: It was always a goal of mine to become a Nationally Certified instructor. I knew it would require a lot of extra work, but the work gives me the knowledge to train each of you and your unique body. So, here I’m in my 4th year and just completed my 10 hours of Continued education. Again, I didn’t go into my training telling these instructors what I want or what I thought, I went in ready and willing to take and use what knowledge they gave to me.

See you at my Spot!
