"I started practicing Pilates in my home state of Rhode Island over ten years ago. I incorporated Pilates seamlessly into my life as my "regular fitness regimen" and quickly noticed that I was different than most students. During each session, I didn't want to just DO the work, get through the hour..... and then move on feeling amazing with my now strengthened and lengthened body. I wanted to know how and why this method worked. I wanted to actually teach this extraordinary "thing" called Pilates, so that I could share all of those "hows" and whys" with anyone else that was interested too.
About 7 years ago, I decided that it was finally time to share my passion on a professional level and entered the most comprehensive and definitive international Pilates educational program of it's kind: The Fletcher Pilates Program of Study.
I traveled between Florida and California regularly for a number of years to study with world renowned Pilates Teachers and dancers until I earned my Teaching Certificate at the top of my class. My commitment to consistently improving both my own personal practice, and my clients' experiences motivates me to continue to study with my various mentors across the country. I sincerely love what I do: assisting my students to feel better, move better, obtain better mobility, become more aware of their bodies in space - and to literally change their bodies every day. My goal is to help people come to the realization that Pilates isn't just another exercise. It is a way of life. In addition, I truly believe that anyone's life should be well balanced. I usually fill my 'spare time' hiking, paddle boarding, and attempting to keep up with my 7 year old son."
