Aria Willoughby

Owner of Elliott's Classes & Lead coach

Aria Willoughby was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, where she spent the early years of her life dancing, then did competitive cheerleading for 6 years. During a short hiatus from cheerleading, Aria began pursuing her degree in behavioral psychology where she took pride in applying her knowledge on how the brain develops to becoming a better coach. Since then, she has become an USA Gymnastics certified coach.  

She is known here at Elliott’s for her endless patience and tricky tricky ideas. Each class is structured to help every child find their strengths and confidence while practicing being mindful individuals. When asked how she keeps classes structured and her sanity, she said, “I always try to meet the child where they are. They’ve only been alive for a couple of years, if that. They are still learning the world and their place in it. My job is to help guide them, even if that means through their big feelings.”

Aria believes:

“Building strong self esteems at young ages develops better relationships with the child’s self and the world around them. Her motto is, “it’s not that you can’t do it; You just don’t know how to do yet”
