"Amy is a fabulous instructor, she has enormous energy and gorgeous dance style! I had a lot of fun enjoying a great work out that really challenged me to get my energy level up." - Joanne C.
"As the rhythm of Zumba Dance with Amy was echoing through the earth tone walls of the Andover Kismet Wellness center it enticed me to start moving my hips and feet a little faster each time. For many women, this was their first Zumba class, and the energy was ecstatic. As Amy started out by showing us basic Reggeaton, salsa, and meringue dance aerobic moves, I noticed that people were catching on to the beat in no time. Amy's infectious energy and clear instructions encouraged you to sweat it out a little more and feel your abs and thigh muscles working to the Cha-Cha-Cha! With just an hour workout I felt my entire body had been "awakened" and I could feel that a change was happening. I plan to continue with Amy's Zumba class at the Salem, NH Dance Connection but no matter where Amy is teaching I will always be sure to go. If you want to feel alive and invigorated and learn from the best, attend a Zumba Dance with Amy class and you will feel the rhythm of life move you to great health." - Stephanie Checchi
"Amy has been truly amazing and a catalyst for (others) to rediscover a part of themselves they either lost or never knew they had or even better a new part they developed." - Jay, Class Participant
"Your Zumba class was so much fun!! I joined the YMCA in November with a goal to get in shape and lose some weight, and to have fun while doing it... Zumba is my favorite thing to do at they gym. I felt so good after your class, that I jogged home!! I was very inspired and felt great after your class." - Ann, Zumba Class Attendee
"I am so happy to have found you (Amy) as a dance guide! You are great at what you do, and you are genuine and funny! Your class is fabulously fun. I just love to feel like I can connect to my roots and let my soul fly. It's great. Thank you for that!" - Peetz Brouillette, Class Attendee
"I think Amy is truly amazing!!! She is the best dancer, instructor, person that I have ever seen in my entire life..honestly! EVER! I feel so lucky and blessed to have her influence my life. I have done aerobics since I was a little tot (beside my mom during the 80's when they let kids in with their moms!) so I am very passionate about it! But her class adds such a great dimension to the sport and to the unleashing of hidden "feelings" of wonder and joy that can be found simply by the way you move! Oh I hope that makes sense but I am trying to get across the exact amazingness of what I have found by going to (Amy's) class! I believe her classes have enriched me just in the way I have needed."
- Paige Johnson, Zumba Class Attendee and Mom
"Amy's health and vitality, excellence and dedication (.is) always an inspiration. Amy's knowledge
about health is astounding! Her genuine interest in me and my well being has been a gift. She is committed
to helping me feel well and experience joy and vitality. I feel an awakening inside myself somehow. She
has a caring, compassionate, graceful spirit. Her enthusiasm is contagious; she knows how to help each
individual and will find out what one needs for optimal health and results."

"Personal trainers are great to help motivate you to diet and exercise, but Amy is different. Amy's program is not a quick fix diet, nor is it about spending half your day in the gym. It's all about making lifestyle changes and paying attention to how great you (can) feel. Amy proved to me that the mind and the body are connected"
- Joanne D., Private Client, Exercise and Yoga Class Participant and Workshop Attendee
"Amy is the most knowledgeable person I know in the areas of health, nutrition and fitness."
- Karen Rudis, Exercise and Yoga Class Participant and Workshop Attendee
"Amy has a great deal of knowledge that she shares with enthusiasm. She is
passionate about living a healthy lifestyle and helping others to do the
same. She has been a great coach. Prior to our meeting, whenever I began
to think about going on a diet, I looked at it as another self improvement
task; more work. Thinking in this manner made making any change a
struggle. By helping me to change my focus, Amy helped remove my
resistance to change. This enabled me to make more nutritious food choices.
She has also given me the tools to refine my diet. I now focus on how I
feel after each meal and then adjust the ratio of proteins, fats, and
carbohydrates in my meals to imcrease my energy and sense of well-being. I
have found the time to plan and prepare my meals ahead of time instead of
grabbing whatever seems most convenient. The quality of food I now buy has
also changed due to the information Amy has provided. She has definitely
made a positive impact on my health."
