Today we’d like to introduce you to Diane Onorio.
Diane, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
My career began in the Performing Arts at a dancer as the age of 3. I was enrolled in a weekly dance structure of ballet pointe, jazz and tap throughout childhood and adolescence. Later moving into a competitive dance environment, technique as well as a pleasing esthetic to a dancer’s alignment became the greater focus. I soon began a structured regimen of practicing the Pilates method. My efforts not only produced greater core strength, flexibility and range of motion but also an increase in kinesthetic awareness.
My passion for movement and my marvel of the structure of the human body and its capabilities inspired my decision to advance my career and to pursue a degree in exercise science. This decision would help me educate others in the physiological response of the body to exercise and to define the essence of wellness for individuals of all ages and ability.
Upon completing my course work and 14 years of teaching experience I opened the doors to The Core of Wellness – Boston North in 2014.
