Training since 1997
"This is an interpretive art, and there are unlimited personal viewpoints within it. I am constantly being reminded of the uniqueness of each person who trains. Whether they are just starting their journey or have many years of experience, there are stages of growth for each person similar to the shedding of skin of a snake. It is a gift to witness these transformations in others, as well as myself. It is a reminder to be aware of many perspectives and always be willing to learn from all things in life."
