While studying dance at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, I had the opportunity to study Pilates with first generation teacher, Kathy Grant. This sparked my interest in the relationship between the body and the mind, and how one can change one’s body through visualization and anatomical awareness.

After college I moved overseas to teach, and I began suffering from daily back pain. Returning to my roots, I decided to leave that job and re-organize my life around health and wellness, which brought me back to Pilates and dance. I received my Intermediate Reformer and Matwork Certification from STOTT Pilayes in April 2007, enabling me to combine my two loves of education and movement. I enjoy seeing people connect more deeply with their bodies, helping them to feel stronger both in their favorite physical activities and in their daily lives. Having experienced the effects of Pilates in my own life, I am excited to share this technique with others!
