PHILOSOPHY

 

Deanna is an educator dedicated to meeting individuals where they are at the moment while facilitating one’s awareness of how very capable we are of changing how we feel by changing how we move and breathe.  Using guided imagery with a focus on developing a meditative state before beginning any movement aids individuals in feeling competent, capable, and confident.  Deanna guides students on their inward journey to gain flexibility, build concentration, reduce the stress of the mind and body, and tap into natural abilities to create positive, healing energy from within.
