Buddha Eyes (Wisdom Eyes) ♥ Namaste
**On virtually every stupa (Buddhist shrine) in Nepal, there are giant pairs of eyes staring out from the four sides of the main tower. These are Buddha Eyes (also known as Wisdom Eyes), and they look out in the four directions to symbolize the omniscience (all-seeing) of a Buddha. The Buddha eyes are so prevalent throughout the country that they have become a symbol of Nepal itself.
Between the Buddha’s eyes where the nose would be is a curly symbol that looks like question mark. This is the Nepali character for the number 1, which symbolizes unity of all the things as well as the one way to reach enlightenment—through the Buddha’s teachings. Above this is a third eye, symbolizing the all-seeing wisdom of the Buddha.**

As a personal trainer and group exercise instructor, I want everyone that I have the privilege to work with to take ownership of their health. No matter their age, health issues, size or history, today is a new day. Moving forward to develop a healthier, happier and stronger person is my goal for my clients. I strive to develop functional and effective training programs that are relevant and specific to the lifestyles of each of my clients. I work with a wide variety of clients, from teens through seniors, people dealing with Parkinson's,diabetes, MS, CP, cancer, morbid obesity, diabetes, bi polar disorder, cardiac issues, physical rehab and more. It is my belief that everyone deserves to feel strong, in control and proud of the bodies they inhabit, at this moment in time. I start where the client is and we work as a team to determine goals and an action plan to progressively achieve their goals for long term success and a healthier tomorrow.
