Supporting You in Flight


I opened Learning2Fly in April 2010.  It wouldn’t be possible without my amazing boxing trainer Barry Becker.  The sport of boxing was good to me.  It taught me to pursue excellence, be grateful, be of service, focus my mind, help others, give back, keep striving.  We all have so much possibility.  My boxing career has put me in a position to help myself and others realized happiness through healthy living.  My dream of health and happiness for everyone is deep. 

I am grateful to GOD and my boxing trainer Barry Becker for all my accomplishments.  After just two years as a boxer, I defeated Christy Martin, who had appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated.  I have earned four World Championships, four Hall of Fames, and a Lifetime Achievement through the International Boxing Hall of Fame.  Surely, GOD was with me.  I am continually humbled to learn new things, help others explore their limit limitless potential through fi to vibrand health for anything.  I wouldn’t trade my passion of teaching fitness and health coaching others for anything. 

for accomplishment. Boxing instilled in me a deep, desire to be the best I could be in anything I pursue.  It also awakened in me a calling to help others realize their own capacity for accomplishment.  Truly, each of us is capable of more than we ever thought possible. YES. YOU. CAN.

In 2006, after 10 years of dealing with the blood, sweat, tears, and politics of boxing, I spread my wings and discovered aerial fitness.  Since then, I have traveled all over the county learning from amazing circus performers.  Students I’ve taught have gone on to circus schools and open their own aerial schools.  My passion of teaching has rippled out to the KC community, and it all started in 2010 when I opened Learning2Fly.

There are so many things I love about what circus represents.  I love that it’s family focused.  I love that it’s based on teamwork, but also pride in your individual contributions.  I love that everyone brings their unique and individual talents together to create something magical, entertaining, and fun for others.  I wanted to be a part of it. I want you to be part of it too.  Let’s contribute something meaningful together.

Learning2Fly is our home, and we’d love to have you join our circus family. The name Learning2Fly has a lot of meaning for me.  Many of us think flying is the ultimate freedom.  Yoga teaches that true freedom is not harboring any self-negating, self-limiting, and self-defeating thoughts such as “I can’t do this” or “I don’t have enough time or money to do that” or “Love is fleeting so I’ll never have real love in my life.”  Insert your own limiting belief here. ________________________.

Changing your beliefs is our most difficult task in life.  We aim to support you in fully embracing all you are capable of, and more.  You’ll learn our Flight Rules of Not saying the C word, and only saying positive things about yourself and others.  You are strong.  You are courageous.  You are capable of so much.  We would love to be part of your “Dream Come True” family.  There is nothing you can’t do.  I know for sure that you can’t fail when you trust in the wisdom that created you.  Let’s empower ourselves and each other and create magic along the way. Come one, come all!  YES. YOU. CAN.

I hope to see you in class soon.

Peace, Love, & Learning2Fly
