Tell Us A Little About Yourself

This past December, my family relocated from Oakland, CA as my husband, Robert accepted a new position with his company. We flew cross-country with our daughter Isabel who was 3 months at the time and our two cats, Jax and Xena. With my parents in toe, we had checked 18 pieces of luggage! While moving at the beginning of winter was anything but ideal, we welcomed the change as it gave Isabel the opportunity to be closer to her grandparents and cousins - all who live in Rye.

Robert and I have known each other since we were 4 years old and went our separate ways after graduating from high school. We reconnected 30-somewhat years later at a friend's destination wedding in Jamaica and started dating, but he was living in Oakland and I was living in NYC. We dated long distance for a year and a half, and then I moved to California in 2013. We got engaged and married the following year and welcomed Isabel in August 2016.

I worked in corporate communications at Sephora in San Francisco, and am looking to transition into a similar role in the Greater Boston Area. I enjoy exploring New England with my family and spending quality time with Isabel, especial exposing her to the things I love -- like ballet.

When did you start taking classes at DanceFIT?

I started taking babywearing balletFIT in January as a way to get back in shape and meet new moms.

What do you enjoy the most about DanceFIT?

DanceFIT has become so much more to me than just a dance studio. It is a community. I am grateful for the moms (and their children) who I met in ballet and the playgroup. I am taking advantage of all the programming, including the virtual classes and Deep Stretch -- they are classes that I find really beneficial, as I crave this time to unwind, while exercising to promote my own growth and mindful behavior.

Favorite Baby Item

I love the Ergobaby 360 for baby wearing balletFIT and also use the Solly Baby Wrap. Each carrier allows me to stay close and connected to Isabel - I cannot get enough of her snuggles. If she were to respond, she'd say she loves the Skwish by Manhattan Toy. It's a teether and a rattle; her little hands are always clutching it. As she is strengthening her own core muscles, and learning how to sit, the toy is a must-have.
