Tonya Ford, owner of Sewickley En Pointe in Sewickley, PA, trained from a young age in ballet, character and jazz at the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre. While in college earning her degree in biology (focus on human genetics), she began teaching ballet at a local gymnastics school and continued to teach ballet to her daughters and their friends before opening her own studio. She began studying the human body again when she found the MELT method to help keep her dance students injury free. She then discovered Relief Through Rolling and most recently Neuro-Kinetic Therapy (NKT). Near and dear to her heart is helping athletes prevent injuries.  She is interested in the implementation of dynamic workstations, both in the workplace and in schools.  Rather than allowing our bodies to be sedentary throughout the day, then working out for an hour to attempt to mediate the lack of movement, Tonya advocates getting people to move their bodies throughout the day so their bodies can handle the load of their fitness activities.

Ling Wollenschlaeger is the Founder and Head Chef of Pittsburgh Fresh. Growing up in her mother’s kitchen, Ling learned from a young age that cooking with fresh, healthy ingredients results in meals that are not only nutritious, but also delicious and satisfying. After graduating from Penn State University and embarking on a career as a financial analyst, Ling was committed to packing healthy lunches. She often saw her colleagues, who were busy and had little time to prepare fresh, nutritious lunches, resort to eating fast food or greasy, calorie-ridden takeout. Many would remark to her: “Your lunches always look so healthy. I’d pay you to make my lunch! With those words, Ling began a new career, one that would dovetail her passion for healthy cooking with helping others to eat nutritious, fresh meals. She went on to graduate from the Culinary Arts Program at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and launch Pittsburgh Fresh.
