I Moved my business in August 2023

The story behind my move is very sweet…

I could feel a move was coming, but I didn’t know when or where that would be. I wanted to stay in Monticello to be near my family as my life is structured around them. I was looking at my options and nothing felt right, then I had a dream. In this dream I was in a home I’ve never seen before looking at a women I’ve never met before and surrounded by chaos. In the dream the women was being accused of causing the chaos I knew she was fine and it was from outside influences. I turned to the cops and said it’s not her it’s them. I then turned to her and said… “where ever you end up I’ll be there with you.” I then woke up and went…Woah! so, I’ve never met the person… Okay message received, then I’ll work on the logistics and fine details while I wait. Thank you.

Months go by… She finds me… she was looking for renters but didn’t want just anyone in her studio so she wasn’t adverting at all. She Facebook stocked me, which is part of Facebook. She wanted to get an idea of what I was about. I got a call asking if I was looking to move, I said “I’m not, not looking, sure I’ll take a look.”

As I sat in her studio while she finished up with a client and I observed the studio and felt the love in the room I simply knew without knowing the rent or what my room looked liked.. this was my next move. I knew before she even had a moment to properly introduce her self as Aileen. We went through the formalities and it all fell right into place. I was completely transparent with Aileen to began a relationship build on honesty I quickly learned that her business philosophy was very similar to mine, which makes for a peaceful environment.

Oh, and I did share my Dream in more detail with Aileen and it hit her hard as it was what was going on in her life at the time of the dream. I said the moment I met you I realized the women was you. She did something with the body but it was very different then the norm… and how she Trains clients it isn’t main stream at all but its so fun to watch. During moments of down time and Aileen is with a client. I see how she helps her clients reconnect with their bodies bringing the mind and body back together as she helps them reeducate the fascia. It’s truly impressive.

There is a 3rd piece to this puzzle which involves the classes that I co-teach with Amanda Swanson. Maybe a few years before Amanda had a vision that her and I would share a studio space. I had no idea how that would go, nor did she. Aileen reached out to Amanda and she didn’t think much of it and even told me about it. Eventually they connected and Amanda was over the moon about it and told me her studio was the perfect fit for out classes. Without any reservations I cut check to rent the studio for our classes, that was the same moment that I officially met Aileen.

My new environment has been very well received across the board and I’ve been asked many times “ What all goes on in here.”

Who better to share then Aileen herself…
