Hello, I’m Heidi! I have been a professional contemporary dancer for over eighteen years in addition to devoting my life to working in the fitness industry. I was grateful to combine my passion for dance and fitness with my love for the Parkinson’s community when I became a certified Dancing Through Parkinson’s Instructor. I am also a certified Pilates, Rebound, and Barre instructor, and teach a wide variety of fitness classes in beautiful Long Beach, CA. As a personal trainer, my approach is client centered, inclusive and judgement free, and always adaptive to the needs of the participants so that everyone feels challenged and included. As a DTP instructor, I utilize my fitness skills, creativity and passion to deepen my work with those seeking neuro rehabilitation in order to inspire hope and improve their quality of life. When I’m not dancing in the studio or teaching fitness classes, I love to do Brazilian jiu jitsu and indoor rock climbing. Some other interesting facts about me include: I’ve climbed to Everest Base Camp. I have my motorcycle license. I backpacked South America with my husband for a year. I was a pole vaulter. I’m a twin!
