8 Year Anniversary!
November marks the 8-year anniversary of MOVE TO GLOW (formerly) Free Your Body Move Your Mind. I am dedicating this month to focus! Looking back over the years, I never imagined all the wonderful connections I have made with others in my field of work. Having gathered my experiences from this entire year, I realize that everything I now imagine comes true because of my trust and surrender to the flow of life.
Mantra* of the Month
For Focus: (Affirm for yourself)
I focus on my dreams
and my dreams are my focus.
*Mantra refers to a word, phrase or sound repeated to support and deepen the concentration during a meditation.
November 2017, I felt a calling to begin this company to educate others to move to their own beat on their own path. As a yoga teacher, my journey always continues farther beyond the physical practice and teachings. In going with the flow, naturally within a one day time frame, I actually decided to take the next step on my path and continue my teacher training at the Wainwright House in Rye, NY where I completed my RYT-200 certification and the following. When I have an open mind, my passions, goals, and dreams I focus on are free from any judgements and expectations. When I practice my gratitute, I channel the abundance I have within myself and all that the world has to offer me. The more I free my body and move my mind, the possibilities are limitless.
November 2018 I dived right into my RYT-300 certification- with thanks again, following the remarkable guidance of Paula Heitnzer, Patty Holmes, and Susan Wright and along side my brilliant colleague and “yoga mom” Adrienne (Mimi) Young. To deepen your education means to deepen your healing. I was experiencing many life challenges and felt pulled in many directions career wise, socially and personally in my life. This training allowed me to break free of all my ties to what seemed to be holding me back from the work I was destined to offer the world.
By November 2019 I was settled into my new career as a personal trainer and group exercise instructor at HealthyFit, in Mamaroneck, NY and continued my Yoga, Meditation and Zumba classes through Free Your Body Move Your Mind in Harrison and Yonkers. As my experience blossomed and I continued my education, the new year would bring an unexpected change as the pandemic hit and I transformed my teaching from in person to virtual, still working with some of the same clients before. I picked up and moved out of my apartment in Stamford, CT up to Monroe to adjust my schedule again once we began in person meetings again at HealthyFit in the Fall of 2020.
November 2020 until 2021, I have channeled my creativity to adjust my schedule combining all the tools learned through virtual platforms where I now work both in person and at home online with clients. The last piece of the puzzle that I felt was crucial to my business was to pursue my Nutritional Health Coach certification. I moved again in CT which in May this year I began my education through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. November marks my 4-year anniversary of my business and completion of my health coach certification, which is the most amazing gift I can offer the world. I am so grateful to celebrate my business with the relaunch of my website and the start of my true holistic healing career. Thank you so everyone who has helped me on a personal and professional level!
Now fast forward to 2025!
After moving twice from Fairfield to Newtown, then to Sandy Hook, 2 kiddos later, I finally made the leap and took more focus to this business to work with women from Pre-Pregnancy to Postpartum, offering customized programs! Here at Move to Glow, we want to provide services that are approachable, affordable and accessible. Thank you again for following me throughout my personal and professional life. Stay tuned for more posts :)
