I have been teaching Pilates for a decade! I originally became interested in Pilates after dealing with severe back pain. I was initially skeptical to my friend's suggestion to trying Pilates reformer, but was immediately amazed at how great it felt on my back! After one session I was hooked and knew I wanted to teach it to help others. I have a Master's in Human Development and Family Studies, and my experience there helped shape my ability to connect well with my clients. My private clients range from a 12 year old aiming to improve her dance skills, to an NFL client wanting to improve his speed and agility, to a 78 year old working to improve his posture and balance. In addition to Pilates, I have a background in Mommy and Me Fitness, Senior Fitness, and athlete specific Pilates. After teaching private and group sessions for a few years I became a Master Trainer and am truly passionate about guiding my students through the certification process. It brings me so much joy to watch them grow and develop into amazing instructors!
