We value our teachers like we value each student we serve. As staff teachers (rather than Independent Contractors), we work cohesively and collaboratively together as a team to provide you with exceptional care, and we are dedicated to helping you feel your best at the end of each session.
Every one of our talented Teachers is trained and mentored by Holly Wallis (our Owner, Director of Education, and Master Teacher), and each member of our team possesses extensive knowledge in Functional Anatomy, Biomechanics, and Post-Rehabilitative protocols so that we are well-equipped to always meet your movement needs.
We invite you to get to know every member of our deeply caring and experienced teaching staff.
Below, you’ll find out more about each of us, how we discovered teaching, and what our clients have to say about working with us.
