Empowering Mind-Body-Spirit Transformation

I met Brendan as a recently diagnosed Parkinson’s patient in my mid-50s, with no experience in yoga and very little with any form of organized exercise. I had been strongly encouraged to sign up for a yoga class, but after two introductory lessons, it was clear that I was really struggling. Brendan noticed this, and when I arrived for my third class, he caught me and told me that I had been switched to private lessons with him for the rest of the introductory package. Now, a decade later, I continue to be Brendan’s student. I believe that without his intervention, I could easily be dead by now. And if I wasn't, I might very well wish I were. Now I face my 69th birthday in far better shape than I was for my 59th, even after 13 years of diagnosed Parkinson’s Disease. I understand and can work with my body far better, and I am much more capable of dealing with adversity and daily challenges. Most importantly, I’ve learned a great deal about gratitude.

"Thank you, Allie, for helping me to find clarity in a time of immense confusion. Thank you for helping me to connect with my Self and my body, and move through and release aspects that no longer aligned. I now look to the future with excitement and confidence. I am grateful for the safe, supportive, encouraging environment you create. I look forward to our continued work together."

"Brendan, as my private teacher, has taken through good times and bad, helping the stress of good times, bringing me back from an injury that I thought had me off the mat forever. One aspect of his teaching that I've only seen wiht him, is this: Like so many younger, local teachers, he will push you to your best. He even got me to a headstand!! But more importantly, he teaches me the true heart of yoga, connecting to my body, living in the moment, and on and on. He is ever so far from "no pain no gain...", but doesn't stop me from pushing hard. Bottom line: Brendan is everything you might want from a yoga teacher, or just a mentor..."

"Allie is amazing! My time with Allie has been invaluable. As an empath, I have found it difficult to connect with others who truly understand what I experience and can help me learn to harness my capabilities (superpowers!). Allie intuitively understood everything I was experiencing, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she's radically changed my life for the better. Words cannot express my gratitude, and I wholeheartedly recommend her."

"Brendan has been giving me lessons for ten years, usually twice a week: yoga, breathwork, weights, and functional range conditioning. My flexibility, mobility, strength and good humor are all markedly better for the experience. He’s a wonderful teacher, trainer, counselor, and coach."

"Allis is amazing! I started seeing her because, despite reasonable success in my life, I had been feeling stick, disconnected, and didn't know how to move forward with purpose and clarity. Allie immediately made me feel heard, seen, and comfortable. She helped me to create a joyful, more fulfilled, and purposeful life. She also helped me to see how some old ways of being and past events were blocking me from moving forward in a way that I am proud of and excited for."

"Working with Allie has been a pleasure and also extremely beneficial. She is patient, kind and knowledgeable, and she takes the time to really listen and counsel in a way that is approachable, thoughtful and collaborative. You can tell that she genuinely cares about her clients, and she creates a judgement-free environment that makes it easy to share honest feelings and to feel supported on multiple levels."
