About The Instructor:
Aingeal O’Mahony Guyn is a licensed physiotherapist who has had a passion for balance / dizziness issues the past 22 years. She enjoys working with a population who struggle to keep their balance for various reasons. Poor balance causes a ripple effect as people stop going out, stop mobilizing and loose confidence.
