Meet the Founder

Hi, I'm Chana Berkman, founder of Integrative Edge and a U.S. Figure Skating instructor. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Integrative Neuroscience from Binghamton University, where I developed an interest in the relationship between movement, learning, and well-being.

I created Integrative Edge because I believe skating can be about more than learning skills on the ice. Through my Mindful Mastery approach, lessons combine solid skating fundamentals with mindful movement, breathwork, visualization, and artistry to help skaters build confidence, body awareness, and resilience alongside their technical abilities.

My goal is to create a supportive environment where every skater feels encouraged to learn, grow, and enjoy the process. Whether a student is stepping onto the ice for the first time or working toward more advanced skills, I strive to help them develop a strong foundation and a lifelong love of skating.
