As a former competitive skier, I fell in love with the focused nature of Pilates. Now, I am devoted to helping my students more deeply understand their bodies so they are able to correct faulty movement patterns and build functional strength through the classical Pilates method. 

My systematic approach to Pilates was developed through years of study. Once completing my B.S. in Exercise Physiology at West Virginia University, I completed four comprehensive certifications in both classical and contemporary Pilates. I believe that understanding and adapting the techniques of each allows me to better connect with and address my students’ needs. So that I best serve my students, I regularly participate in continuing education workshops and private lessons with other master instructors.  

I continue to practice, learn, teach, and specialize in classical Pilates, a distinct style that aims to adhere as closely as possible to the exercises, sequences, and intentions of the system’s creator, Joseph Pilates. My passion for this method was forever cemented when, after suffering a debilitating back injury, I learned firsthand its restorative power. This system of exercises allowed a safe, targeted, and methodical recovery. It is my goal to bring these benefits to each of my student’s so they become the strongest versions of themselves.  

Beyond Pilates, I am a certified yoga instructor and practitioner, an avid skier, cyclist, pianist, reader, traveler, and lover of rescue dogs.
