Hi, I’m Robbi — and these days, my favorite roles blend movement, meaning, connection, and becoming.
As a Body & Brain Outreach and Community Service Instructor,
I teach simple, accessible qigong and mindful movement for all ages, helping build strength, balance, and calm for real life (no contortions, tricky yoga pretzels or perfection required).As a Life Transitions Coach, I partner with go-getters stepping into new phases of life, exploring self-healing practices like movement, energy cultivation, intuitive nutrition, meaningful connections, and building a work-life flow that actually feels aligned with their true self (no magic wands, just real shifts that stick).
Qigong/Tai Chi Classes
Qigong (chee-gong) is a vital energy cultivation practice that blends active and dynamic movements, vibration, visualization, and meditation to help you ease stress, improve balance, and mobility, soften stiffness, and gently restore your natural energy.There are different styles of Tai Chi (TIE-chee) movements; they all consist of slow, controlled motions and promote serenity through gentle and flowing movements.

who am I?
👋🏽 I’m a certified Body & Brain Outreach and Community Service Instructor and Life Transition Coach. My classes combine easy, dynamic movement, stretching, breathing, vibration, visualization & meditation techniques to help you release stress and feel more balanced in everyday life. I especially enjoy working with adults and seniors, as well as people at a crossroads who are eager to step into a new phase of life and reconnect with themselves - body, mind and spirit.I believe holistic wellness should be simple, joyful, and down-to-earth. And I know that amazing experiences can unfold when we move with awareness, befriend our bodies, and reconnect with our true selves—balance, calm, and a renewed approach to living on purpose.🛑 YOU'VE GOT THE BASICS, KEEP SCROLLING FOR THE JOURNEYSummers on my grandparents’ Alabama farm, our family garden in Ohio, and my dad’s work as a truck driver delivering produce taught me early on what real food is and where it comes from, which shaped my lifelong love of nutritious food and the natural world.My journey into holistic health began in my mid-20s after an S-curve scoliosis diagnosis and a warning I might not walk by 60, which pushed me to try chiropractic care despite skepticism. Today, I’m strong, mobile, and upright, with my chiropractor still on my wellness team, and I’ve moved forward with a renewed commitment to holistic health and never looked back.In my 30s, a uterine fibroid diagnosis threw my life into a tailspin, but it also sparked a determination to find natural solutions to avoid surgery. Although I ultimately needed a partial hysterectomy, my doctor credited my quick recovery, without blood transfusion or medication, to these proactive approaches.These experiences, along with alternative approaches like acupuncture, reiki, reflexology, energy healing, guided imagery and more, reinforced my belief in the power of holistic health practices.Despite my history of navigating health issues through changes in diet and alternative approaches, a more recent and persistent sinus infection that resulted in some serious head sensitivity and pain became a turning point. Doctors left me frustrated, scared, and feeling unheard as they focused on alleviating symptoms with antibiotics and steroids, which led to heart palpitations, anxiety attacks and another round of medical input, but no real answers.The one thing that did catch my attention while working with an integrated medicine provider, was that my chi / qi / ki / prana was low, which totally made sense after months of uncertainty, anxiety, and poor sleep. A quick search suggested Tai Chi as a way to increase it, and I found a Body and Brain Yoga and Tai Chi center just minutes from my home. I signed up, dived in, and just a few months later I had a newfound relationship with my body and a new mindset. I’m grateful beyond words that I found this loving and supportive community.This experience forced a necessary awakening. I realized I had been neglecting my mind/body/spirit connection. My meditation practice had dwindled, replaced by worry and anxiety. And, I was relying solely on doctors, ignoring my body’s wisdom.It was time to reconnect. I stopped relying on external solutions and took responsibility for my own well-being. I voraciously read books about holistic health and related topics, started working with a health coach, recommitted myself to meditation, delved back into emotional regulation techniques, and moved my sleep time from midnight to 10pm.I also completed a holistic health coaching certification and a Qigong Instructor certification, creating the perfect blend of my life and career coaching experience with a deeper, holistic perspective to help others achieve lasting well-being in a more complete way.My quest has reminded me that real health is a harmonious balance of mind, body and spirit. It’s not just about eating right and following an exercise regimen; it’s about nurturing all aspects of our being.As I embark on my second act, my approach is rooted in the wisdom gained from my childhood experiences, my personal health challenges, and my ongoing journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance.My belief in the power of self-healing; natural, wholesome nutrition; mindful and intentional movement; strong social connections in community; and the crucial role of mental and spiritual well-being is unshakable, and my curiosity to continue learning in this space is insatiable.It’s SO easy in our fast-paced world to lose touch with our true selves. We have to make our way back to wholeness!We can't keep looking at aging through the same old, tired, Western lens. With kindness and courage, we’ve got to push back against anyone who still expects us to live by those outdated, disrespectful norms about growing older.Let’s experiment with what’s the ‘right path’ for each of us (bio-individuality), and embrace the wisdom of nature, the power of an optimistic mindset, the joy of movement, the benefits of the right kind of connections, and a purpose where we contribute and show up as our true selves so we can experience a well-lived and vibrant life.
