Pilates works that’s why I became a teacher.
​I would like share what Pilates has given me and many others. Strength through flexibility, correct posture for a feeling of wellbeing. Core strength for less back pain, full body strength and a healthy pelvic floor. Physically able to ‘do what needs to be done’ with a smile and energy at the end of the day. ​
My background includes two master’s degrees in psychology, and various certifications in somatics, psychosomatics, biomechanics, and physical wellness. I have 20 years of experience within the Pilates world, as a student and teacher with great success helping people of all ages with their fitness, health, and rehabilitation issues. Examples: -poor posture, increasing fixability, knee, hip and shoulder replacement recovery, Cancer and other health concerns, feet issues and extreme stiffness.
I am ‘no stranger’ to physical pain, I have been diagnosed with arthritis and cervical stenosis and am well aware of how physical pain can affect mood, energy and ability to participate in life. It was Pilates in general and specific exercises that “gave me my life back”. You will hear that comment over and over again from teachers and students once you step into Pilates. While the word CORE is well known these days it was Joseph Pilates who gave us the core some seventy plus years ago! ​It would be my pleasure to meet you at the studio for a one-on-one complimentary session and talk about your goals expectations and any limitations you may have. You will have an experience on the Pilates apparatus-equipment, posture assessment with suggestions on how to feel more comfortable in your body immediately. In short, we get to know one another a little. There is no ‘hard sell’ or expectations. You will know if Pilates is right for you or not, very quickly.
