UPDATE

Laila had her braces removed on 8/27 (top photo)

They gave her a retainer with temporary fake teeth (bottom photo)

This is just the beginning of her long road, the next step is full mouth crown lengthening which means they have to remove her gums in her ENTIRE mouth which will be intense and is NOT covered by Insurance.

If you feel inclined to help even just sharing her GoFundMe story will help us be able to provide her the care she needs with the Specialists who have developed her lengthy and complicated treatment plan.

Thank you in advance from the bottoms of our hearts.
This is really very hard and drastic for a 16-year girl to have to endure. ♥️

This was not an easy post for me to write and very different from what I normally share here, but this is deeply important to me as a mom so here it goes.💙

My 16-year old daughter Laila has been facing some serious health challenges which we have known about for a little while but hadn’t been very clear as to what her treatment plan would entail until now.

My daughter was born missing 14 permanent adult teeth. The ramifications from this situation are enormous, not only aesthetically but also functionally as she struggles with chewing and eating food, daily lock jaw, migraines and more. The medical and dental care she is needing is extensive, will be ongoing and unfortunately we have recently come to find out not covered by insurance. The costs will be soon overwhelming, as we are doing everything we can to give her the healthy, confident and functional smile/mouth/jaw that she so deserves.

We’ve started a GoFundMe to help her, and I wanted to share it here because this community has always been such an incredible source of support and kindness.

If you feel called to give or even just able to share her story and the GoFundMe link, it would mean the world to our family. Every bit of support truly makes a difference. 🩵

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and for standing by our family. 💛

These ladies make my heart so happy, they show up on a weekly basis either online or in person, and we have the best time spiraling and arching and curling together! They love the work so much they even went out and bought their own mats and stools! That’s dedication!!

I have been teaching this class for almost 30 years and it has not always been the easiest class to build, I think mainly because when people think of “group classes”, they think of going to Pilates or Yoga.

Gyrokinesis is such a unique and amazing form of movement that really differs from most other modalities and no matter how big or small this class is I still love to offer it on a weekly basis and move with whoever is willing and able to show up because it always makes my body feel so incredibly amazing afterwards and to see these smiles after class is really a true gift!

✨CLASS IS EVERY THURSDAY 10:00-11:15

✨ALL LEVELS WELCOME

✨FIRST CLASS IS FREE

“After a while, clients will notice that their posture is better, that they look more open, more upright. It’s particularly good if you sit at a computer all day.”

ＦＲＯＭ ＴＨＥ ＡＲＣＨＩＶＥＳ (𝒞𝒾𝓇𝒸𝒶 𝟤𝟢𝟢𝟦)

I just spent the past few months working on the history of my teaching career, unraveling 30 years of how I got to where I am today and who my MAIN teachers were that inspired and influenced me along the way. It was really fascinating to dig into all of this. I’ve always had a Bio on my website over the years but never really created an actual “story” about the who, what, where of it all and most of my clients here in Bend don’t know me as a Pilates Instructor as I’ve dedicated these past 13 years to only teaching Gyrotonic here in Bend so I thought it would be fun to share it with them.

I found these classic photos from one of my studios I owned and operated in Leucadia, CA on Highway 101 just a couple blocks away from the beach! It was such a beautiful and sweet location I loved having this little studio to work in everyday! It was so bustling and there were 5 of us who taught Pilates and Gyrotonic together here! I can’t believe how young I look in these photos!

Oh those were the days…

I have been truly speechless and heartbroken with what this past week has brought to LA my hometown, my family, my friends and so many close collegues… there are just no words. I have been in a state of shock and disbelief as I watched this tragedy unfold from afar. To be so far away and unable to help those I love in some capacity has been incredibly difficult.

There are so many unknowns for so many people and in the middle of all of this devastation there is also an outpouring of love and kindness and for every spark of destruction I know there is an army of angels rising, some even crossing mountains to reach them.

Los Angeles is the city of Angels, even in the darkest times humanity shines brighter than the flames.

Thank you to every single person who is lighting the way to hold LA together you are earthbound angels where help knows no boundaries.

Praying for LA and my home (even when it’s not) and people that I love. 💔

Two Gyrotonic studio owners have just lost their entire studios in the Palisades fire, one of them also lost her home… I am sharing their IG pages where you can find their GoFund me pages if you feel inclined and able to help. 🩶

After falling in love with the method of Gyrotonic and appreciating the benefits that it had on her body, mind and spirit she decided to become certified to teach this discipline so that her clients could benefit from this work as well. During her career, Kimberly has also had the opportunity to become a Certified GYROTONIC® Pre-Trainer for several years where she led pre-trainings to assist other students on their path to become teachers themselves.

Kimberly has also had the honor to train under many exceptional Master Trainers in all of these disciplines, such as Lisa Marie Goodwin, Director of In-Spiraling Movement Arts, in Los Angeles, Alicia Head & Marie Jose' Bloom of Long Beach Dance Conditioning, in Long Beach, Cathleen Murakami, Synergy Systems in Encinitas, Barbara Schwarz of Gyrotonic LA, in Santa Monica, Magali Messac of Seattle Gyrotonic, Tim Miller from the Ashtanga Yoga Center in Encinitas and Domini Anne of Carmel Gyrotonic.
