“be like water, my friend” ~ Bruce Lee & "MOVE like water, my friend" ~ Coach Monica!
I was Born and raised in Oakland, vacationing in high Sierras and Coastal towns have shaped who I am today. I call myself a ‘Movement Educator” to describe my 20+ years of combined education and professional work experience in movement as a professional Belly Dancer and grassroots Mountain Bike Racer, FitnessTrainer, Massage Therapist/Bodyworker, Pilates, Spin Instructor, Ergonomic Specialist, and currently applying to Physical Therapy schools. All of this has enhanced, informed, and energized my own life, and now I am most happy about joining forces with P2P as I continue to share my passion for fitness, outdoor sports, ethnic dance, and alternative health techniques! I have spent years honing my skills while never giving up on my passions. With an extensive background and versatile style, I am adamant about helping you create a fitness regimen Designed to enhance what YOU love to do in life!
