Hello there!
Thank you for taking the time to read my bio. I am a graduate of the Advanced Teacher Training Program (950+ hours) from The Pilates Center of Boulder, Colorado (known as the “Harvard” of Pilates teacher training programs) and have a B.S. in Art with an emphasis in Painting from Elon University, NC. My students have been known to enjoy their homework illustrated with stick figures!
I’ve been practicing Pilates since 2003 and have taught Pilates since 2010. I opened my first studio location in Minneapolis, MN in 2014.
My students say I’m encouraging, relatable, goal oriented, committed, detailed, and celebrate their accomplishments. My goal as a Pilates instructor is to increase my student’s strength, stability, flexibility, and mobility all while having a good time! Pilates is for all ages and I encourage my students to embrace it as a practice.
How I became a teacher:
While working as a lifeguard in California I had my first teaching experiences. I led H2O Aerobics and taught swimming to all ages. I am an enthusiastic teacher and have taught movement in some capacity since I was 16 years old!
Outside of teaching I enjoy any activity that includes spending time with my husband Mike and our three dogs (Beau, Zazie & Fin). We found Fin while out on a run in rural Jamaica and rescued him! My favorite activities are hanging out at the beach, walking my dogs, Pilates (of course!), dancing (tap & jazz), lap swimming, running (I’ve completed 5 marathons), Happy Hour with friends and tooling around town on my bike.
I look forward to meeting and learning about you! See you soon at the studio!
