Trainers

After a difficult delivery my body didn’t feel like it was mine anymore. I couldn’t get myself back in shape. Physically and mentally. The step to the gym was too big. Barbara put together a perfect ‘step by step’ program which encouraged me to get control over my muscles again. After two months of intensive training I feel balanced, energetic and confident again.

A wonderful atmosphere of peaceful green, a hidden gem on the Overtoom. Such a precious Pantarei bodywork session by Barbara, full of gentle attentiveness and beautiful listening to my needs and after a clear opening in my whole being. Curious adventure of getting back to my body, my whole self.

‘Forgive the apparent hyperbole, but Pilates has enhanced my life!’ Three years ago I began my sessions with Ginger with some trepidation, but with her ‘customized’ approach I know I am in good hands. Nowadays I think of life as ‘before’ and ‘after’ Pilates. At the age of 77 my mobility and confidence have increased, and my balance is improving. Also, I am now sure that if I fall, I can get myself upright again. After my hip surgery last year, Ginger literally got me back on my feet and knew exactly which parts to address to strengthen my muscles. Any specific ache or pain that accrues during the week is dealt with as if by magic. Though I realize it’s not magic, but thanks to her expertise and intuition. I’m still discovering and mobilizing body parts I didn’t know existed! My weekly session is something to look forward to, and leaves me feeling more alert and energetic. Wow! Thank you, Ginger, you’ve worked wonders for me – what would I do without you?!

“It is your strength to be able to get very close without invading another person's personal space. I think you can do that because you are a reserved and very involved person, so that you understand the art of becoming light as a feather yourself and causing zero unrest. The best thing about somatic therapy is that so much energy starts to flow.”
