about me
I am a passionate professional, with a lifetime of experience in dance, gymnastics, yoga, Pilates and sports/fitness conditioning. In private sessions, duets and group classes, I love to work with all levels and ages to create customized, challenging--but fun--progressive Pilates and exercise programs. I take a holistic approach, grounded in the latest exercise science, which will help you to feel fit and fulfilled—body, mind and soul. Fitness is an ever-adapting journey, not a destination. And it's for life. My goal is to help guide you on that journey, in and outside of the studio.
