Shell Gardner
Pilates Instructor
Shell fell in love with Pilates after her first class in early 2020. She found that a consistent Pilates practice was critical to her physical and mental wellbeing while she was the primary caregiver for her dying father. Pilates gave her the energy, stamina, and mental fortitude she needed during that difficult time.
A registered nurse, Shell provided care for hundreds of patients for over 30 years. She now has found a NEW way to help people feel better - mentally, emotionally, and physically. She became a Comprehensively Certified Pilates instructor in order to share her love of and passion for Pilates. She is committed to practicing Pilates for the rest of her life, and to helping as many people as she can by sharing and teaching the Pilates method.
When she isn’t practicing or teaching Pilates, Shell enjoys spending time with her husband Jeff, her two adult children, and lots of friends. She also enjoys knitting, painting, and spending time at the beach. Shell loves Carolina Beach music and very much enjoys shag dancing with Jeff.
