Hi!
I’m Blanche!
Free up your body for adventure
Whether you want to train for a triathlon, pick up the groceries without straining a muscle, or simply get outside for a walk, Essentrics® with me will help unlock your body and make you strong and flexible.

What is Essentrics?
The Essentrics® technique is influenced by several fitness disciplines. It draws on the flowing movements of Tai Chi, which create health and balance, the strengthening theories behind ballet, which create long, lean, flexible muscles, and the healing principles of physiotherapy, which create a pain-free body.
Tai Chi Meets Dance!
Can I Help?
Stretch out of your comfort zone
In class we target the imbalances that every body has. Essentrics® helps elite athletes stay injury free and it helps folks just starting (or restarting) their fitness journeys develop lean, strong and flexible muscles.
Everything is Connected!

Follow along with the video and feel how stretching every muscle, starting with the toes, helps restore movement in our hips and throughout our whole body.

My Students say the nicest things!
The class was relaxing and done before you know it. By the end of class I felt flexible, balanced, and calm.

Once I took the first class I was hooked! I loved your straight forward approach to explaining the moves and your enthusiasm was contagious! You can go at your own pace and make adaptations where needed. It is beneficial for any level - from beginner to trained athlete!

I started working out with you because I wanted to try something new!
I continued because it was great to connect, and I liked how the class made me feel.
