“I have been practicing aerial with Alyssa for the last two years. She is an amazing coach that meets you at your skill level while also challenging your limits. I currently do partner lessons with my friend and we are practicing on two different apparatuses. Alyssa is able to balance teaching both of us while giving us the individual attention we need and also trusting us to practice the skill independently. Alyssa is knowledgeable in many different areas of aerial and teaches safe techniques while keeping lessons fun and exciting. She is kind, encouraging, and loves her students. I admire her strength, grace, and skills as an aerialist. I highly recommend taking individual and partner lessons with Alyssa.”

“I began a journey with Alyssa as my private coach, taking aerial seriously. Her style on the silks herself and as a coach are unmatched and I’m forever grateful. She’s so attentive, informative, passionate, the list goes on. Something I really appreciate about her as a coach is her attention to detail and her high regard for safety. She pushed me to my limits, then pushed a little farther, all while assessing my individual abilities and making sure she never pushed too far, just enough to get me past a mental block in my belief of my own capabilities. Taking an aerial class is one thing, but having Alyssa coach you and or having her privately coach you is on a whole different level. I whole heartedly believe that I would not have progressed nearly as far as I have without her. Thank you, Alyssa, my aerial coach, who has become a dear friend!”

“I have been training with Alyssa for a few years now. She is very patient and mindful to what your body can handle. Very caring and an amazing cheerleader. Alyssa's encouragement really makes a difference; my aerial journey has not been smooth sailing but she makes it feel very manageable. Grateful to have her as a flight instructor and friend. Highly recommend Alyssa's private lessons.”

"I started going to Apex gym to train with Alyssa in aerial arts. I came to her struggling with technique and she was able to figure out what was wrong and determine steps on how to correct it our first session! She also plans sessions according to your needs and ability level. I immediately started noticing a huge improvement within our first few sessions. I have been training with her once a week and my skill and strength has improved much faster than when I was struggling in group classes and training on my own. She was also really helpful and encouraging with fine tuning a routine for a performance. She can teach silks, hammock, lyra, and trapeze!"

“Alyssa is the most patient instructor I have had. She is a super sweet person and a beautiful aerialist. I would highly recommend lessons with her! She breaks down everything clearly and will try multiple ways if the first explanation is not working for her students. She has a space with a high ceiling so there is plenty of height for long combos and drops. Go give a try!!”

“Taking private aerial lessons from Alyssa has been such a great experience. Her attention to detail and proper form has helped me grow my aerial skills and bring more awareness to my movements. I leave every lesson feeling stronger and accomplished. She is very creative at being able to modify lessons according to your skill level. Alyssa is also an amazing choreographer. She has choreographed a few beautiful routines for me . I feel blessed to have her as an aerial coach.”

"I have completely fallen in love with Aerial! Alyssa has played such a huge role in that. Aerial is challenging but makes me feel beautiful in a way I never knew possible. I couldn't imagine doing it without Alyssa's encouragement and guidance every step up of the way. I could barely do my splits when I started on silks and last week I was so close I couldn't believe it. Her passion for Aerial shows every time she teaches me! She always reminds me to " love the Journey". I am so grateful for my Aerial journey! I love you Lyss, and thank you for being the BEST instructor ever!"

"I have known Alyssa for almost 10 years now, but I have been taking aerial lessons from her for 9 months. I have always loved Alyssa's kind, funny, and straightforward personality. When she told me she was teaching aerial, I was extremely excited because I knew I would feel comfortable and safe with her. When I started, I was a bit nervous because well, aerial can be scary. Whenever I would doubt myself or get a little hesitant, Alyssa would remind me of my progress and how strong I had become. I loved this because she would push me beyond my limits, without making me uncomfortable. She sees the capabilities and room for growth within her clients, even when you don't see it within yourself. She'll have you surprised by the things you can do, and that's always so exciting. There's never a dull moment when taking lessons from Alyssa!"

"I always knew I would like aerial. But over this last year since I started training, I have fallen completely in love! Thanks to thee most wonderful coach. And no, I am not just saying that. Alyssa is super patient, understanding, and encouraging. She is constantly pushing me beyond what I think are my limits. Whether it’s trying a flow or pose just one more time, or something as simple as reminding me to really point my toes, she has helped me unlock a passion I did not even know existed inside of me. She has also helped me explore other areas of aerial artistry that I didn’t even realize were possible for me to explore. She cares about all of her students and makes it very clear that she wants to see us succeed. I have trained on every apparatus with her (silks, lyra, hammock and trapeze) and I have learned so much about myself and this art since I began training. She makes it fun, enjoyable and you will always leave a good picture or video from day one. Not only that, but you'll leave with a sense of accomplishment that makes you feel like you can conquer the world. Partially due to the amazing-ness of aerial itself, but also because Alyssa is inspiring as a teacher. I will be forever grateful I started my aerial journey under her tutelage."

"I started doing aerial with Alyssa about 4 months ago. I have never done anything like it, but I fell in love instantly. Her passion and enthusiasm for the art is infectious. She is extremely knowledgeable and teaches things in a very clear way. Aerial has become my number one passion and I wouldn’t have had this opportunity if it wasn’t for her. She has encouraged me to not only love aerial but to also love myself, my body, and my journey. I will be forever grateful for her bringing me into such a wonderful aerial community. Thank for all of your hard work and dedication to all of your students."

I have just recently started my aerial journey with Alyssa, but have already seen myself grow so much in my ability. Aerial has always intimated me because I've never considered myself to be strong or flexible, but Alyssa's patience and guidance have not only helped me grow in my ability, but helped me push myself past my own limits."
