I realize later that this was a way for me to find my own alignment and come back to myself when out of sorts. I always recognized that once my mermaid tail was on and my body was submerged in water, that my mood and body regulated.
Out of my passion for swimming, I became certified first as a swim instructor and then later in many aquatic modalities that allowed others to find their own rhythm and flow in the water. The joy I feel when witnessing a student swim in the deep end or submerge under water always brings me chills, since I know the divine is with me, helping them.
I am certified as an Ai Chi Trainer, Aquatic Therapy and Rehabilitation Specialist, USWFA Water Fitness Instructor, an Angel Fish Swim Whisperer, an American Red Cross Water Safety Instructor, and Lifeguard.
Teacher's Favorite class is Ai Chi, which brings Tai Chi movement to the water. Ongoing Classes held at the Shames JCC in Tarrytown on Wednesdays at 11 am and Thursdays at 8:30 am for members.
