FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
At the Kane School of Core Integration, my training emphasized corrective Pilates as applied to various populations. I was hired at Kinected Center, the home of the Kane School, immediately upon completing my certification. I have continued my training with workshops in Biomechanics, Hypermobility and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, and Postpartum Pilates at Elevate Cooperative. Other workshops include: The Functional Anatomy for Movement and Injuries (FAMI) Workshop at Mt. Sinai Gross Anatomy Lab, FAMI 2: The Shoulder, Healthy Neck mechanics with Kelly Kane, Balanced Body's Bodhi ropes suspension system training, and a seminar on Yoga for Scoliosis with Yoga Union founder Allison West. I have also studied with renowned Juilliard anatomist Irene Dowd, and Rebekah Rotstein.

- What types of customers have you worked with?
I visit you in your home or office, or virtually for personal mat Pilates sessions, or we meet in a studio space if you prefer work on the equipment. We consult so I can understand your past injuries or conditions, as well as your goals. I then design a workout specifically for you, to achieve your workout goals as well as help rehabilitate injuries and repattern your movement. I modify the workout as needed according to the needs of that particular day. Over time, we work to achieve optimal movement patterns, and progressively increase the challenge of the workout to make your body ever smarter and stronger.
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I'm always thrilled when I can help my clients who are experiencing back pain or pain from disc herniations. Many times, with a few simple Pilates exercises, the pain is quickly reduced or eliminated, and I can give my clients tools to manage their pain independently between sessions.
