Teaching Philosophy
Pilates is a language like no other. My role is to help you become fluent in it.
We aren't often encouraged to be fully present in our own bodies. Choosing to practice Pilates is an opportunity to slow down, explore movement, and feel supported in the process. My goal is to create a space where students feel safe to be curious, ask questions, and develop a deeper connection to their bodies. Through that process, strength, confidence, and body awareness naturally grow.
Pilates is an exploration. It invites us to experiment, make mistakes, and discover new possibilities without judgment. Every body is different, and every student's practice will look different. Rather than striving for a particular shape or image, I encourage students to pay attention to what they feel from the inside out.
While this is meaningful work, it should also be playful, creative, and, above all else, enjoyable.
As a teacher, my role is to give students the tools they need to build a sustainable practice, one that supports them throughout the many seasons of life and that they can carry with them wherever they go.
Movement Education
I have been practicing Pilates since 2008 and teaching since 2014. I received my Comprehensive Pilates Certification from the Kelly Kane School of Core Integration in New York City. My training emphasized working with special populations, including pre- and postnatal clients and those with spinal conditions, scoliosis, osteoporosis, joint replacements, orthopedic injuries, shoulder dysfunction, pelvic floor concerns, and other movement-related conditions.
A lifelong student, I continue to deepen my understanding of movement through hundreds of hours of continuing education in Pilates and related disciplines. My studies have included Gyrotonic®, Gyrokinesis®, the Alexander Technique, biofeedback, and breathwork, along with workshops and mentorships with Deborah Lessen, Blossom Crawford, physical therapist Dr. Marshall Hagins, Peggy Wallin-Hart, and many other respected teachers in the Pilates and movement communities.
This ongoing education continues to shape my teaching, allowing me to meet each student with curiosity and an individualized approach while creating a space where they feel supported to explore, ask questions, and build confidence in their own body.
