A former competitive dancer from age five, Deanna’s passion for movement has evolved into a career as a dedicated Pilates and Qi Gong instructor. With a deep understanding of the body’s biomechanics from years of performing, training, and practicing, Deanna teaches clients how to develop core strength, improve joint stability, and use neuromuscular recruitment to help them get stronger, move more freely, and eliminate pain. Deanna helps clients not only build physical strength and stability but also foster a sense of energetic flow, meditation, and mindfulness through the ancient Chinese practice of Qi Gong. Whether working with dancers, post-rehabilitative clients, pre- and postnatal clients, or anyone looking to learn about their body and movement, Deanna creates a nurturing space for people to reconnect with their bodies and move with confidence, resilience, and vitality. In 2019, Deanna expanded her movement practice from two- to four-legged clients as a Canine Massage Therapist.
