“Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness.
Through the Pilates Method of Body Conditioning this unique trinity of a balanced body, mind and spirit can ever be attained. Self confidence follows.”
These two statements perfectly encompass my experience with Pilates. Pain and discomfort are the ultimate obstacles to happiness and fulfillment.
I started practicing Pilates in 2001 after undergoing physical therapy for chronic back pain. It was the natural progression of my physical maintenance and now provides a pain-free existence. Pilates has helped me through many struggles in life, both physical and emotional. After working backstage in Off-Broadway theatre for 16 years, I changed gears and enrolled in the comprehensive program at Core Pilates, NYC completing my certification in 2012. Then in 2018, I completed the Bridge program with Alycea Ungaro at Real Pilates in New York City. I feel Pilates is part of my personal journey. It continues to reveal new ways to think about the mind and body. I am constantly challenged and inspired by what I learn at workshops and with my instructors. My goal is to pass this knowledge & inspiration to my clients so Pilates can help with their fitness journeys.
I have trained people from all walks of life including: professional athletes, dancers, actors, people struggling with spinal degeneration, scoliosis, osteoporosis, joint injuries and pre/postnatal clients. As an instructor, I take great pride in helping clients overcome their challenges & reach their fitness goals. Pilates is a process and a practice. I am honored to guide clients as they gain health, strength, and confidence. My clients know I am with them every step of the way.
