Testimonial by Arlene Gimovsky

A friend of mine raved for years about her Tai Chi instructor and the extensive benefits she derived from her classes (with Holly Sweeney, of course). I had always preferred more traditional exercise techniques and stayed with my treadmill/weights regimen. However, my health changed and I hesitantly asked my friend for additional information about Holly and her methodologies. I had just completed chemotherapy and radiation treatment for colorectal cancer that left me physically incapable of performing my usual workout routine (not to mention listless, lethargic and depressed). My friend connected me with Holly and I have never made a better decision.

I work with Holly once a week using the Alexander technique to manipulate my core structure and improve my strength. Immediately following my one hour session with Holly, I go horseback riding to reinforce my conditioning. I have never felt stronger or as well balanced.

Holly is just like the techniques that she practices- peaceful, quiet, gentle- with an inner strength that is surprising in its tenacity and in its ability to alter years of destructive behaviors. Holly’s presence in my life has not just improved me physically (as dramatic as that is) but I feel honored to have her emotional guidance as well.
