Hi all! My name is Melissa and I am a proud Mom of two awesome kids and two fur babies. Since becoming a mom, my enthusiasm for the mind and body connection has grown. I am committed to finding ways to connect with children to increase their confidence and self-esteem through movement. I am also a certified health and wellness coach. When I am not mommin’, you can find me volunteering as a coach for Girls On the Run in Millstone New Jersey. This national exercise club encourages young girls through social and emotional learning with fun games and exercise. My own personal journey includes a daily practice of mindfulness, yoga and broadening my knowledge of children’s happiness, health and wellbeing. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be part of the Pretzel Kids program and even more thrilled to share this thoughtful and fun yoga program with my children and my community ! I cannot think of a better way to calm the mind, increase focus and flexibility and encourage a healthy life-style all while having fun! Can you? Movement is medicine. It’s pretzel time.. so let’s have some fun!
