How it all began…
Meditation felt like something far away and unattainable, yet, something I had a lot of curiosity around. At the time I started learning more about it, there was a lot on my mind. I was going through personal challenges and had just retired from a 15 year career as a professional ballerina. I was going through a time of feeling stuck, confused, and restless.
Mindfulness and meditation helped me heal and grow and made such an impact in my life I went to school earned a degree in Holistic Psychology and became certified in Mindfulness Studies so I could share this work with others.
Today, I work as a wellness coach and created the program Movement & Mindfulness. Throughout the years I work one-on-one with clients, hold workshops and teach the program at schools. My passion is to introduce and inspire clients to maintain an ongoing movement practice, and to support clients in reaching their personal wellness goals!
“Desirée made everything we did feel non-threatening, achievable, individually based. She is an effective instructor and motivator. Her upbeat personality, energy, openness - comes through and makes one want to join in. ” - Kathy S
Kind Words From Others…
“I highly recommend Desiree's mindful program. I really liked having multiple sessions because my students walked away with knowledge about themselves and how to utilize mindfulness throughout their day.” Hunnewell Elementary, Wellesley, MA
“We were looking to bring a new exciting class where students can learn new calming techniques as well as have a mix of dance and movement. Parents have enjoyed sending their children to Movement & Mindfulness. Their children have talked about having some calm time after a busy day at school. Working with Desiree has been great! She is kind, engaging with the children as well as responsive. She works well with the school on all aspects. It has been a pleasure having her a part of the community.”
