June Kamerling

Owner, Pilates and Personal Trainer, Massage Therapist

20 years experience in Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT),

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy, and

soft and deep tissue therapeutic massage.

When June turned 50, she knew that she did not want to grow old being overweight and unhealthy. She started working out with a personal trainer and soon was inspired to become a personal trainer herself, followed by her Pilates training. June brings to her Pilates and personal training, years of bodywork experience, knowledge of the skeletal and muscular system, muscle testing (kinesiology), how each body is "supposed" to move, her experience working with many conditions such as repetitive strain injuries, chronic pain due to tension and old injuries.

June is fascinated by the human body...how we move, how we hold emotional patterns and habits which can affect our every day well being and ability to move and be pain free.

"I'm so thrilled with the way Pilates and weight training has changed my body and my feeling of well being. I want to bring that feeling to others". Contact info: 510-604-5732, junekamerling53@gmail.com
