Candace
Instructor
Candace is a licensed massage therapist and NASM certified personal trainer who fell in love with mat Pilates when her children were babies and has been integrating bodywork and healthy movement practices for her friends, family, and clients ever since.
Her experiences as a mother and a breast cancer survivor inform her teaching style and personal practice, while her understanding of anatomy and physiology is intuitive after 14+ years of working with the human body. Her goal is to improve not only the physical fitness of her clients but also to reduce chronic pain patterns, rebuild strength after injury, and aid in developing the self-confidence of everyone who attends her classes.
She began her Pilates training in 2017 with classical style Peak level 1 and went on to complete contemporary style BASI comprehensive training even after her diagnosis of stage 3 breast cancer at age 33. She recently relocated to the Dallas area from San Antonio, TX where she has been an instructor with Club Pilates since 2018.
She lives with her boyfriend, cat, and ball python, and she enjoys hiking, cooking, and reading in her free time.
