What they say about Mandy's one-on-one session...
‘Mandy has a deep, intuitive knowledge of the body's intricacies. With her sharp eye and informed touch, she is able to guide her students effectively toward deep, integrative movement. For anyone who seeks to understand how to move with ease and enduring strength, Mandy is the one to see!’ – Amy B.
"I have worked with Mandy for fifteen years focusing on Pilates both with the reformer and on the mat. I have found these sessions to be highly beneficial. Mandy is a dedicated teacher with a sharp attention to detail. She strives to get her students to do each exercise with precision rather than settling for mere repetitions. I have found that this approach produces incremental progress and is one of the key advantages of hands- on private sessions. Over the last 6 weeks I have engaged Mandy in a series of FaceTime workouts due to the isolation surrounding the Corona virus. These have greatly exceeded my expectations and have contributed to both my mental and physical well-being. Finally, Mandy is a wonderful person who takes her work very seriously. She is fun to work with and has you really looking forward to the next lesson.”– Frank P.
“I have worked with Mandy for four years. I came to her after suffering stress fractures in my knee and was in significant pain. We started slowly and Mandy was very attentive and patient with me. With her help, my knee has since healed, and we moved on to other areas of my body which needed work. Mandy has helped me to open up my shoulders and back which were pretty inflexible since I have been sitting at a desk most of my career. She provides great instructions and is extremely knowledgeable in Somatic Movement Therapy. I look forward to our sessions and am amazed at the progress she has helped me make. I highly recommend Mandy!” – Milena I.
“Mandy is caring and very detailed on improving my movement and reducing pain. She is special and can be counted on to train you to feel better.”– Vivian T.
“Mandy is a gentle, warm, smart and gifted teacher. Last winter I was diagnosed with and began treatment for breast cancer. I got through successful surgery and chemotherapy with remarkably little side effect. I am sure that my Pilates work with Mandy increased my body strength and well being to such a degree that this was possible. Mandy is incredibly knowledgeable. When I walk through the door, Mandy can tell from my gait and posture what we need to work on that day. I am not the most kinesthetically able person but Mandy is able to explain movement and provide mental images that enable me to visualize and be successful in the Pilates movements and exercises. She has helped me change the way I walk and hold my body. My neck, shoulders and back have become more open and are free of ache and pain. I can hardly remember how old and achy I felt before I began working with Mandy." - Judith F.
"Mandy Chan is a wonderful and intuitive teacher. My training sessions with her have been very beneficial. Strengthening my body, improving my balance and helping to correct lifelong “bad habits” are what make me look forward to our sessions but mostly it’s her sunny demeanor.”- Phyllis B.
"I went to Mandy because she came highly recommended by a trainer who had no more time in her schedule for me. When I first went to her, my feet were a wreck, inflexible tight and inflamed. She patiently helped me, week after week, open my feet, gain flexibility in my toes, strengthen my arches and increase my stability. She is fun and creative- no two workouts are alike- even when you want them to be! I am impressed with her knowledge of the body and of my body. She is unfailingly cheerful and upbeat and I enjoy working with her immensely. She has a funny sense of hearing however- when I complain she doesn't seem to hear me. I enjoy working with her and would recommend her highly to anyone who wants to open their body, increase their strength and flexibility.” - Robin K.
