Services
EMJAYSKATING is a unique skating business with both in-person and online elements. At home in Connecticut, I run a competitive figure skating program for skaters of all ages. I combine my knowledge of elite training methods and yoga to create well-rounded skaters with technical expertise and mental confidence.
I am happiest when teaching skating and sharing my joy with other skaters. I have a virtual component to my business so I can help more skaters, whether that comes in the form of regular lessons or video analysis of specific elements.
My current full range of offerings:
In person:
Private lessons, 30-60 minutes
Off-ice strength and conditioning, 60 minutes
Training management, career advisement, competition preparation, and more (for my competitive freestyle skaters)
Virtual:
Virtual private lessons, 30-60 minutes
Virtual video analysis
