I'm originally from NYC, but after marrying, moved to Vermont, then Ireland, then Pennsylvania (2 locations). I worked at various jobs--from cooking to secretarial, from census taking to running a flood control agency. When my three kids were all college age, I divorced and undertook PhD studies in English at West Virginia University and then taught at Ohio State University-Marion.
I first studied tai chi in Morgantown, WV, while I was in graduate school. This Yang style class stressed tai chi's martial aspects, and soon I dropped out.
When I moved to Ohio to teach at Ohio State-Marion, I joined a small, caring group of students in Columbus studying Guang Ping Yang Tai Chi. The Ming Lu school is small but vibrant and stresses health and good humor. Teachers Jeff and Paki showed me the difference patient, perceptive teachers can make.
I first studied Dr. Lam's Tai Chi for Arthritis at the Columbus Arthritis Foundation in May 2005, and first taught TCA at the Marion, Ohio Senior Center.
I'm an authorized trainer with Tai Chi Vermont--an independent organization offering training and mentoring of tai chi instructors in Vermont. I also teach regular classes by Zoom and in person in Woodstock and White River Junction, VT. I've been teaching tai chi in Vermont for fifteen years.
