My name is Soni Pelino. I graduated from Emory University School of Medicine with my doctorate in physical therapy in 2009. Prior to beginning my career as a physical therapist, I served in the US Air Force for 8 years. My hobbies include power yoga, tennis, and martial arts. I earned my black belt in Krav Maga in June 2024. During the past 15 years, I have treated many patients with many different diagnoses; but I have been especially affected by the patients I have met with Parkinson's Disease (PD). When I learned of the Rock Steady Boxing program several years ago, I knew that my passion for martial arts along with my passion for helping those with PD, could become a powerful combination. I traveled to Indianapolis in 2022 to take the certification course, and started Rock Steady East Cobb shortly thereafter.
Classes are held at a karate dojo. It is a small space, but I make very good use of the available space. What started off with one participant, has grown into a wonderful family of 10+ participants and a waiting list. I am hoping to expand soon.
Even though I have a waiting list, I still welcome anyone who would like to observe a class to see what Rock Steady is about. So if it is a fit, there is another Rock Steady Program available at the Health Place at Kennestone Hospital, as well as other boxing type programs targeted toward PD at various gyms around town.
