Helping You take Better Care … of You

I am dedicated to supporting you in taking better care of yourself. The vehicle of online Stress-Release Coaching enables me to utilize multiple approaches in mentoring you to release tension, overcome pain, and find your way toward serenity and well-being.

My expertise includes over five decades of study of the human body, both as a dancer/teacher and as a body therapist. I have trained with renowned movement artists and accomplished body-centered practitioners/educators associated with the most respected institutions in the country.

Integrating all that I have learned, I have created my own style, philosophy and approach to healing. I feel honored to work with my clients, and value your trust in me, both as a health professional and as a compassionate human being. By allowing yourself to be open and receptive to creative approaches to healing, you are taking care of yourself. When awareness happens, change becomes possible.

I have been a client of Bonita’s for over ten years and her knowledge, expertise and sensitivity has been a blessing to me over the years. I was greatly impacted by the pandemic as I could not exercise in a way that I was accustom. Since businesses were closed, I could not get any therapeutic work done either. In no time, I felt my muscles were very tight and I experienced soreness in my legs. I called Bonita and she held a personal Zoom session for me and guided me through various muscle and stress release techniques. That session has been a tremendous help to me! Thank you, Bonita! — Joe P.
