I trained with G2C Olympic Coach Audrey Weisiger, Master Rated Coach Kenneth Class and U.S. World Competitor Juli McKinstry. I believe figure skating teaches life lessons, such as time allocation, goal setting, and discpline. I believe in a positive approach to learning, which requires a respectful attitude from my students. I believe it takes a team approach to produce quality skaters and that parents play an integral supportive role in a non-coaching capacity.

Spin Specialist Seattle Ice Theater Choreographer International Show Skater Pre-certified in Gyro tonics 5X International, National, Jr. National, and Sectional Choreographer Bachelor degree in Psychology & Minor in Theatre, University of Washington
My passion is developing skaters from the ground up. It is most rewarding watching each student accomplish their personal goals. When choreographing a program, it is a unique experience to each student. I nurture their natural style and bring the joy they have for skating out in their programs. While teaching spins, I focus on correct body alignment for a great center. It is also paramount for all elements of skating that each student reaches and maintains their maximum flexibility. To foster this, I instruct a weekly stretch class that incorporates a gyro tonic approach in which all levels of skaters can participate.

Mia Munroe - Conditioning Class
During my professional career in classical ballet, I discovered GYROKINESIS® and GYROTONIC® exercise methods while it was being developed in New York City by it's original creator, Juliu Horvath. Now, as a Gyrokinesis Master Trainer, I enjoy transferring her experiences with injury management and recovery and applying Gyrokinesis technique directly to young skaters. Skating is as uniquely intense as classical ballet. I am always striving to give them skills to better themselves with independent training off ice, not only to benefit their skating but also their overall development, using basic Gyrokinesis principles.
