Her graduate work focused on cardiac rehabilitation where she interned at St. John's hospital in Smithtown, N.Y.

In addition to working with special populations, Renée has worked in Corporate fitness facilities teaching classes, creating programs and performing exercise testing.

Meditation and Guided Visualization
Renée was fortunate enough to under go 2 years of intense training in
meditation, starting at the young age of 16. She has since continued this discipline and taught it to others as well as making recordings to help people reach their full potential.

Renée’s Experience in Meditation and Guided Visualization
The gift of guided visualization and meditation entered Renée’s life at the young age of 16. This is when she began studying with a Master teacher once a week for over 2 years. After this, she pursued studying the metaphysical arts by taking many workshops and classes and refined her skills as both a student and teacher of guided visualization. This skill helped her immensely as a competitive bodybuilder, dancer and instructor in health and fitness. She is especially noted by her clients for her soothing and rhythmic voice.
