Testimonials
Amy F.
"Participating in the Essence of Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) under the mentorship of Diana has changed my life in the most profound and positive ways, far beyond expanding my knowledge of asanas (physical poses). I'm so glad I didn't wait until life "got easier" to jump in; life "got easier" because of YTT."

"Diana has been integral to my wellness lifestyle for the past five years. Diana is a well-informed, caring coach, from yoga and weight training to nutrition and naturopathic healing modalities. I feel safe doing body work with her. As an elder, that’s important! Her nutritional coaching has helped clean up my gut, improved my immune system, and increased my awareness of the importance of clean eating every day. Diana continually motivates me to be a healthier, stronger person. Essence Studio is a wise choice for anyone ready to meet the challenge of improving their fitness and overall well being. Diana is the perfect guide!"

"I came to Essence studio in my late 50s about six months ago. I had always wanted to try yoga. After researching I decided on Essence. I made the right decision. I was drawn to the variety of classes. Yoga, Pilates, weights, dance. Diana is extremely knowledgeable as an instructor. Her commitment to health and wellness was obvious after our first conversation. I was apprehensive to begin the Yoga Teacher Training journey, also, but I'm so glad I was open to it and it’s been wonderful! All of the instructors are awesome. This has been an enlightening experience. I love this place and look forward to continued health and learning!"

I was very hesitant to come in to see Diana. I have lived with pain for so long...I’d had lots of tests done to try to find a diagnosis, but it was of no help.
I didn’t know what to expect on my first visit. Diana put me at ease from the very moment I met her. And I believe it was within five minutes of her, watching me walk and checking the placement of my hips she felt confident, not only did she know what was wrong, but she also had a plan on how to help me. We can’t turn back the clock and make ourselves young again, but it’s nice to know that there’s people like Diana, who can help to make us better with the time that we have. I don’t recommend much to people… I think people have to make their own decisions, but I would recommend Diana and her knowledge to anyone who is willing to put in the work!

"...Diana is such a wealth of knowledge with degrees and certifications I am learning not only yoga, how to meditate (which I struggle with), but also how to take care of myself physically and mentally. I have learned so much already and am so excited to see where this journey takes me."
Natalie P.
"I’ve been going to Diana for a year on the recommendation from a friend and a doctor who told me I needed physical therapy from someone with knowledge of the function of a women’s hips and pelvis area. I tried traditional PT for 9 months unsuccessfully prior to seeing Diana. She has saved me! After two years of debilitating hip pain, I am now pain free. I can exercise again without worrying if it will cause my hip to hurt..."

"I highly recommend Diana to any athlete that is significantly injured and needs therapy and any individual interested in pursuing a healthier lifestyle, incorporating fitness, yoga, stretching or diet."

"As a Nurse Practitioner of Internal Medicine, I was drawn to Diana by her passion for whole body wellness. …I believe Diana deeply understands the body as a multidimensional system that is affected by infinite factors, not just its anatomical composition. I have learned through 32 years of experience in medicine that Diana’s attention to whole body wellness is the most effective approach to treating the complex human body."

"I am a physician and a competitive cyclist who has been a client of Diana for over 7 years. I have taken many of her fitness classes and she played a vital role in helping me rehabilitate from several injuries. She has a unique ability of being able to clearly understand each client’s strengths and weaknesses and with this understanding develop a fitness and/or rehabilitation plan to meet her clients’ goals. She does this with infectious enthusiasm and clear communication."
Becky B.
"Diana is a highly motivated individual with a passion for her clients and her work in the wellness community. She seeks to individualize her client’s fitness programs by assessing their levels of understanding, motivation and compliance to her recommended training regimes."
Diana is happy to pass on her knowledge for a joyful, healthy life of ease. Her passion is to help others and support them on their journey.
