Hetty is a lifelong weaver (She learned to weave at summer camp at age 13!), and a dedicated member of the Weavers’ Guild of Boston Board.
Her body treats her pretty well but it is made better by Jill’s coaching and classes. She has a scoliosis and some ‘hip thing’ that is kept in check with stretching, exercise and proper ergonomics. Her yoga mat is out all the time.
