Testimonials


“I had been working out and taking yoga for years.  When I got pregnant I felt that the information I was getting about changing my practice was counterintuitive.  I sought out a private teacher to answer my questions, Caomh clarified so much for me.  I felt I could trust her as she had children of her own and understood how much I needed to alter my practice and workouts as my pregnancy progressed.” Anne Z.

“Caomh is a down-to-earth, personable teacher.  Before I met her I would often come away from a class at my gym either bored or hurt.  I couldn’t find a class that fit my body or temperament.  I was going to give up [on yoga] until a friend recommended Caomh.  She was patient and encouraging.  She taught me about proper technique and what makes up a well-rounded practice.  I can go into any class now and feel comfortable!” Ruth J.

“When I first met Caomh I was recovering from a running injury and very depressed–I didn’t think I was going to be able to recover the level of fitness I had before the injury. After doing a thorough check into my medical history and talking to my P.T., she came up with a routine for me that eventually allowed me to get back to running. I travel a lot and now wherever I am I know how to work in some safe and effective exercise.  My body also feels more in sync when I run, bike, jump rope . . .” Grace B.

“Caomh is fun and easy to work with, yet I never feel as challenged and determined as when she is leading me through the exercises she recommends.  My back doesn’t get tired or achey anymore–as long as I keep up with the core work!” Jeff A.

“I wanted to get someone to work with my mother on balance. She was beginning to have difficulty getting up from a sitting position and had stopped going out alone for fear of falling. Caomh worked with her and used a variety of simple techniques to build strength and improve her balance, which she generously taught to me so I could continue helping my mom stay independent.” Sarah C.

“As a pianist and piano teacher I spend many long hours at my piano. Stiffness in my neck and aching in my shoulders was my everyday experience. A doctor diagnosed a pinched nerve. I had surgery to fix it, but the discomfort  largely remained. I knew I needed to figure out a non-surgical solution. Caomh pointed out that my poor posture at my piano was contributing to my pain. She showed me how to align myself properly and how to use my core muscles to support me. She showed me how to release tension in my neck and shoulders and even checked how I slept at night! All her suggestions and guidelines have helped me so much. I faithfully follow her exercises everyday and it has enabled me to continue working.” Trish W.

“I am very busy and don’t have a lot of time to run around after the latest exercise trend. I am not a gym person nor do I have the option or desire to follow a studio schedule, but I am dedicated to staying healthy and fit.  I needed an expert who could help keep me on track and provide me with an efficient, effective workout–I found that in Caomh.  I have been working with her for many years and have never looked back.” Adaline O.

“I feel I have finally found a teacher who understands my body! I have tried for 20 years to find an exercise plan that challenges me but doesn’t leave me with injuries; that targets all my muscle and energizes me. When I work with Caomh, I feel I am building strength seemingly from the inside out. Her instruction has also made  me aware of how I hold tension in my body. I notice when my shoulders creep up or when I hunch over and it feels so great when I correct that! My work with her is never boring either, it is mentally challenging to stay focused and work deeper–my muscles are shaking and I am dripping with sweat but I am smiling!” Teresa B.
