Pilates & Yoga Instructor, Personal Trainer, Reiki Practitioner ,Thai Yoga Bodywork Practitioner, Aesthetician
I have been involved in fitness training for over 14 years. I have a Master of Education: health promotion degree from Plymouth State College.
Before moving back to the area I was the director of the North Conway Athletic Club in New Hampshire.
I teach several group fitness classes per week at my studio and at corporate locations. I also work one on one with many clients at my studio. My training clients range across all ages and abilities.
I have extensive experience in designing programs for people involved in injury recovery (rehabilitation) and back issues. I often consult with physical therapists and other members of the health-care team in designing and personalizing programs.
As an outdoor sports enthusiast and avid bicyclist, I understand the importance of balancing all aspects of the wellness dimensions to achieve maximum performance in reaching my goals.
I am a quoted expert on WeightWatchers.com & in Better Homes & Gardens.

David Evans
Yoga Instructor
David is Cheryl's husband, co-owner, and life partner. He has been involved in behind the scenes operations of the spa since its opening in 2003. However he has been practicing Yoga for many years.
Now as a teacher he wants to help educate people on the wonderful benefits that Yoga can bring to the mind and body. "As we age we lose flexibility, says David. "It is this very simple thing that we take for granted, but Yoga can help us stay flexible and active."
As a passionate bicyclist, David has found Yoga keeps him in top shape to ride hard each season. But it is the mind body connection that has him interested in developing his yoga practice and sharing it with his students.
