"When I walk through the studio door all my worries just fall away.  I can't believe how this space has helped change the rest of my work week.  I am an eye surgeon and clients can be a tad stressful.  Since starting the goddess and martial arts class, I actually have more patience.  My stamina has gone up.  I find my joy right here."
