"I consider myself an inspirer as much as an educator. My God given purpose is to serve, to make an inspirational difference in people's lives through movement and how I live my life. When I teach Nia, I adore watching how folks light up! It's phenomenal how many people’s lives are being changed through this practice. I consider it a blessing to have found Nia and a privilege to teach and share this wonderful program".
