Heidi's Mission Statement
Butterflies are not called butterflies over night. They have to undergo tons of changes in order to acquire that name.
- Michael Bassey Johnson
Our mission at Heidi's is to celebrate the individual journey of each child, while providing them with the tools they need to
reach their full potential. We are committed to helping our students become strong both physically and emotionally - a place where
their unique gifts are nurtured and encouraged. With GODLY CHRISTIAN principles at the core of our approach, Heidi's Gymnastics is
devoted to creating an atmosphere of kindness and love. It is our mission to celebrate each child's special unique journey - one
filled with encouragement, praise, respect and compassion. We strive to create an atmosphere where all children can feel happy,
safe and accepted. Together let's make Heidi's a place of joy, acceptance, and kindness where children can grow in confidence.
We believe
learning is a continual process, that must be enhanced in a positive, nurturing environment. Since every child is celebrated and
encouraged during the learning process, significant results will be evident every month and these results will be everlasting and
foundational to the physical, emotional and social development of each child.
Heidi's Gym provides a joyful, positive atmosphere where children can learn and grow in confidence and joy from their journey
at Heidi's. This process will, in turn, make learning fun and encourage the child in reaching higher achievement milestones.

How it all started for Heidi ...
Before I did gymnastics I would always do cartwheels and hand stands out side on the grass and anywhere I could find room.
I lived right across the street from my grammar school so when school was over I would go over to the play ground and swing on the
monkey bars for hours. I had asked my mom for years to put me in gymnastics and finally she did. She enrolled me in the YMCA
gymnastics program when I was 12. I absolutely loved my first class and after that first day I never stopped, I was absolutely in
love with the sport of gymnastics. It was a wonderful world of adventure, excitement, challenge, learning, dedication, and commitment
that I loved and embraced.
Heidi's dream and goals ...
When I was in college I would dream of owning my own gym someday. I know GOD put that in my heart and put all the pieces together.
Heidi's is absolutely a dream and a blessing from GOD and is built on Christian values/principles of love, honesty and fairness. I
want to be a great steward of the gift GOD gave (Heidi's). I don't want to ever look back and think I did not do my best to lift a
child's spirits up or encourage them to be the best they can be. My desire / my heart is for Heidi's to be a blessing to all the
families that come. I want the kids to have wonderful experiences of joy and memories filled with positive learning, with individual
success (each child is very special and unique and I want them to feel proud of what they have accomplished) I want them to gain
confidence in their abilities but also confidence in who GOD made them to be. My sincere hope is that I have created an atmosphere
of kindness, love, hope and at the same time taught kids how to work for a goal with determination and commitment. I hope these
lessons will stay with them and help them as they go onto different journeys in their lives. I cherish all the families that have
gone to Heidi's and that are coming to Heidi's.
