I began my personal journey with Pilates in 2000, I am passionate advocate of Pilates benefits. I am a certified instructor in mat and reformer, and have also completed certification on the Cadillac, the Stability Chair, Therapeutic Pilates and Teaching Therapeutic Movement. I have great experience managing low back pain, and improving neurological function. I continue to seek opportunities to increase understanding and knowledge of both the body and Pilates practice. I consider Pilates practice a lifetime commitment to health and well- being and I am amazed at how much the Pilates approach to exercise has to offer, from rehabilitative work to cross-training and beyond, providing the opportunity for all individuals to enhance their health through improved mobility, strength and stability.

I personally became a witness to the powerful health and healing benefits of Pilates after participating in my first class at which point I realized Pilates truly was “Medicine for my back”. In the past, I had experienced many years of chronic lower back pain and being an avid fitness advocate and instructor, my back condition prevented me from enjoying high impact workouts and limited my mobility and exercise options. Pilates brought me new hope, enabling me to reduce the lower back pain by rebalancing muscles, improving core strength, mobility, and helped me strengthen my body, pain-free. With each Pilates session I attended, I realized that for the first time in many years I was able to enjoy my lifestyle and passion! Pilates is not only for those of us recovering from injuries but for everyone! Through my personal experiences, I have found Pilates has enhanced my own physical and personal wellness, mental health, and can say with confidence that Pilates is for everyone.
