About

Empowering people through the teaching and practice of movement and meditation as first medicine. 

At MoveMentation we believe prioritizing daily necessities of life SHOULD NOT have to prevent the ability to heal and live a healthier life!

 My research highlighted the need for the underserved communities like the elderly, veterans, those on fixed and low-incomes, and the chronically ill, to have access to various movement and meditation modalities. So the decision to form MoveMentation, a nonprofit to bring education on, and opportunities for movement and meditation, was born.

In 2019, I had a chance meeting at my booth at a holistic health fair with Dr. Lyle Wilson. Lyle is a qigong practitioner, researcher, and teacher of many years and we share a passion for teaching, which lead to us teaching one another our respective arts. It was with Lyle’s steady encouragement and mentoring over time that helped germinate the seed for movement education to be readily accessible to everyone. 

While Lyle had agreed to join the cause, I wanted to be patient and choose wisely a third person to form the leadership trinity to be the core nucleus for ournonprofit.

As is often the case, doing what you love brings you people who love what you do, and teaching tai chi brought me into contact with Lynn Fox. Over time It became clear to me that Lynn held the business acumen to round out our leadership team. Her steadying style provides the perfect counterfoil to Lyle’s and my own skills. Our nonprofit is committed to delivering excellence in education, body mechanics, energetic flow, and mindful movements to build a foundation of health for everyone.
