My love affair with Pilates began in 1988. For nearly four decades, movement has been my practice, my passion, and my path to healing.
After having my four daughters, I completed my first teacher training program in 2002 — motivated in part by my own experience with cervical spine issues that had limited my movement for years. Pilates was the one thing that fully restored my range of motion, strength, and flexibility. I experienced its power firsthand, and I’ve spent the last 23 years sharing that with others.
Eager to go deeper, I trained in the authentic work of Joseph Pilates — what he called “Contrology,” now widely known as Classical Pilates. I completed three separate teacher training programs, all led by second-generation teachers who learned directly from one of the five lineages of Joseph Pilates himself.
My specialty is helping all bodies move better — especially those managing long-term pain, navigating the aging process, or post physical therapy after injury, surgery, cancer, or autoimmune conditions.
I am passionate about staying current on new studies related to osteoporosis, rehab after joint replacements, and recommended protocols for spinal issues. I am a firm believer in continuing education and professional development. I have completed the seven-course Movement Science Made Simple graduate-level curriculum and meet regularly with my advisors to better serve my clients with greater clarity and understanding. I also take weekly private lessons with my own teacher, in addition to maintaining my personal practice. My lifelong commitment is to refine my eye and deepen my understanding of the body, movement, and pain science.
I consider myself a student for life.
“Change happens through movement and movement heals.” I believe in this quote by Joseph Pilates wholeheartedly.
