Testimonials
I am blessed to have many wonderful clients who make teaching a fun and enjoyable job! Here are some of the kind words they have had to say about me:
"Kaethe's Stretch Class is a highlight of my week! Over the past few months I have seen exciting improvements in my flexibility and reductions in my pain and stiffness. I really appreciate Kaethe's personalized attention and gentle corrections -- unlike a pre-recorded guided stretch routine, I know in this class my positions are correct! She remembers everyone's specific limitations and also offers suggestions for alternative positions throughout the class. With virtual classes, I'm able to join from out of state and even when traveling, which really helps me be consistent. I highly recommend this class!" ~ Holly W.
“After months of methodically working on my balancing - asking questions and listening to Kaethe repeat her instructions in various different ways - I was thrilled to finally do my pirouettes without falling over this week! Kaethe is patient and descriptive, and even over Zoom, my practice has improved a great deal.” ~ Robyn D.
“Kaethe gives 100% in each of her classes. I love that she is so hands-on. She has a really positive way of helping us develop our skills and a very natural way of connecting with her students. I love how she takes the time to explain the how and why of the movements. Kaethe is also very patient!” ~ Mary La.
“Kaethe’s support and dedication to helping me achieve my goals allowed me to get back the strength I had lost due to an injury and becoming complacent in my health pursuit. She is dedicated to her clients and persistent in her desire to help you achieve your goals.”
~ Mary Li.
“Kaethe really listened to my goals and concerns. She used her experience and expertise to create and continue to hone a training program that was just for me.” ~ Gayle N.
“Kaethe has the right amount of encouragement to try to get the most out of every exercise and is very good at corrections in a non-judgmental and encouraging way.” ~ Carolyn. D.
“I started working with Kaethe about three years ago with the goal of improving my ballet technique. Not only has my technique improved, but she's also been helping me fix alignment problems that are improving my ballet and how I move in everyday life. I'm finally making improvements I've been wanting to for years!” ~ Elayna L.
“I like Kaethe’s personality and her ability to teach all levels. Her knowledge and affordable pricing keeps me coming back for more.” ~ Jessica
When asked what makes my students keep coming back, they had this to say:
“Because Kaethe is an amazing instructor. She is very engaged with her class, and it's obvious she cares about each of her students.”~ Mary La.
"The class (instructor and students) is friendly, the instruction is very technical, and Kaethe gives lots of adjustments.” ~ Robyn D.
“She is well trained and excellent instructor.” ~ Gretchen A.
“Kaethe used these other methods of exercise [pilates and ballet] to help me build strength in ways that
worked around the trouble areas I have (knees, ankles).” ~ Gayle N.
“I enjoy Kaethe’s company and, given enough time, have seen results and improvement.”
~ Carolyn D.
“Her professional attitude and willingness to help me achieve my goals not her goals for me.”
~ Mary Li.
"I love that Kaethe focuses on getting the correct muscles to work. She doesn't just give you an exercise and then leave you to it, she pays attention and fixes all the little things that make a big difference. I love that her classes have a focus and all work towards the main goal of the whole body working together. It's also fun to make connections with others who share common goals and thoughts." ~ Elayna L.
“As Kaethe’s husband, I could certainly be accused of bias; however, Kaethe’s attention to detail in body alignment and correct workouts has transformed my life.
"Early on when we were first dating I had come over from work complaining about how my knees were bothering me, and right on the spot she shared a simple stretch for my upper legs that loosened me up and made the source of the pain go away. Working with her long term has transformed my attitude toward fitness, and helped me better understand the importance of body alignment for both pain management and effective workouts. In addition, it is a lot of fun to join in on her group classes. She pushes you to do your best and get better, and yet is also understanding if your body is having an off day.
"I highly, highly recommend taking her classes long term. She is very wise and perceptive, and can even spot body misalignment problems through a computer webcam on a virtual session (which I think is astounding). In short, I feel that if you stick with Kaethe for the long-term, your whole view and practice of fitness just may transform!”
~ Her husband, Dan
