Meet Your Coach

Hi, I'm Shelly!

I am a former rhythmic gymnast turned professional circus acrobat performing all over the world, on Broadway in the musical Pippin, and for the premier of Cirque du Soleil's Kurios.

I am so passionate for hand-balancing and contortion that I've turned my love for these skills into a full-blown career to help others experience the thrill for themselves.

For the last 15+ years, I've been teaching adults how to tap into the potential that's already waiting within their bodies.

I truly enjoy working with all kinds of students, many of whom only just started as adults with zero experience with this type of training!

In addition to coaching virtually, through my online program FLEX-ED, I also enjoy running in-person workshops and retreats so I can be more hands-on and meet all my fun and amazing students in person.
