| Chandler Moore In
Action |
Chandler, formerly a pilates
instructor at Presidio Sports & Medicine, came to
Renaissance with a rough draft of a business plan and a
grant from the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation.
Though visually impaired, Chandler had her sights
clearly set on providing services to help people feel
better about their bodies, assist pre and post natal
women and people recovering from injuries.
“
Renaissance gave me the professional advice, structure
and encouragement I needed just at the right time...
when I was anxious about opening my business and
wondering if I could do it.”
