About Me

Ever since I can remember, I have been intrigued by what makes a body healthy from nutrition to exercise to emotional well-being. My curiosity grew with time and what I thought was just a hobby became a fulfilling and life-enhancing career.

I don’t take my health for granted. It’s the one thing that allows me to fully enjoy my two grown children, and to help others feel better.

I believe that our bodies have a natural ability to heal from within, and we can greatly improve our body’s powerful self-healing properties by taking good care of our whole selves. Start small and know that every little bit of self-care does eventually add up!

HER STORY

Dominique is a California native, a mother, self-care advocate, and a firm believer in the profound healing benefits of THE GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®. She is passionate about helping others and finds great joy in seeing her clients moving more freely in their bodies and discovering what is possible during class and beyond. It’s the realization that we are our own best healers that inspires her most as she witnesses the aha moments through her clients’ self-discoveries to move past their prior limitations. She found THE GYROTONIC SYSTEM® as a way to heal from chronic back and joint pain and is constantly awed by the transformations that continue to inform her physical body as well as her personal and emotional life. For her, the true brilliance of GYROTONIC® is how it stimulates and strengthens the nervous system and ultimately calms the mind to create a greater awareness of ones balance, coordination, internal strength, and agility. The ability to move with ease can’t be understated!

HER BACKGROUND

Dominique started her training in San Francisco in 2015 and finished the final GYROTONIC® certification in Miami. She completed certifications in GYROTONIC® Level 1&2, GYROKINESIS® Level 1, and specialized equipment training on the Jumping Stretching Board, Archway, Gyrotoner, and WingMaster. She loves the work and is constantly inspired by the infinite potential to deepen her understanding of functional movement patterning and how that relates to an overall sense of well-being. She brings creativity from her prior experience teaching barre classes, her years of practicing yoga and playing tennis, and finds inspiration through her continual curiosity to learn more about this progressive and enlightened system of movement. Additionally, she studied the physical, mental, and social effects of spiritual health and completed the Master of Intuition Medicine® (MIM) program in 2018.
