What to Expect
'Look up' is a common cue I use in the studio. When I say it, it usually means level your chin. It means stand like you're balancing a book on your head. But it also means be proud of your work. It means look forward to the future. It means set goals, have dreams, and believe you can achieve them. It means despite setbacks, the challenge is still worthwhile. It means don't look down, and definitely don't look back. Look up! When you look up, you see the sky and the birds reminding you to be graceful, the trees reminding you to stand tall, and the clouds inviting you to reach up and touch them.
I hold my sessions in a sunroom/solarium on the back of my house. I find being surrounded by light and nature helps facilitate calm and focus.
On our first visit, I'll evaluate your posture and alignment, and we'll discuss what you want to get out of your sessions. I like to think of our process as a team effort; we'll establish goals and come up with workouts that will line up with your goals, progressing you towards a stronger core, better balance and alignment and more acute mindful movement, among other things.
We will work with a variety of props both on the mat, tower and on the reformer including stability balls, foam roller, Pilates circle, balance cushion, and therapy bands.
I welcome work with a broad range of abilities and ages. From the beginner to advanced; from those living with chronic pain to the experienced athlete. The principles and practices of Pilates will benefit any lifestyle and can be applied to nearly any body.
Now things are looking up!

Bio
I have been involved with fitness on some level nearly my entire life. I find Pilates to be much more than a fitness endeavor, but a lifestyle choice that is rewarding on many levels. It is a mind-body practice that promotes focus and precision. While introducing Pilates to others, I have found that each person’s experience is different and personal; some breakthroughs are immediate while others take a bit of time to emerge. They’re all good!
The awareness and strength one develops, with dedication and patience, will serve one for a lifetime. So worth it!
I am a dedicated fitness professional with nearly nineteen years’ experience primarily in group fitness, fourteen of which include Pilates instruction. I am Stott certified in both complete mat and reformer repertoires. My training includes the Injuries and Special Populations module.
I enjoy hiking/walking, cooking, gardening, reading, music and spending time with my two handsome sons.
