Our stories
“Shimon’s coaching has enabled me to truly enjoy life.”
Rick Stassa, Emerald Commercial Properties LLC
“Shimon has been one of the best gifts in my life … Working with him has strengthened me in body and soul. I met Shimon while my wife was going through Chemo treatments. His kindness and openness and willingness to travel this journey with me gave me the strength to take care of myself during the 5 years of caregiving. “
Chaya Spector
“Shimon has allowed me to give myself permission to do self-care; inside and out. Not only does he work with your body to allow you to feel your best and to know your body better, but he also provides a non-judgemental and fun sounding block that opens your mind and heart to new possibilities.”
Joanna
“My mood was uplifted from the first class onward. What a difference the class has made in my life since then. I have started to approach the world with a new lens.”
