Introduction: As well as fully certified Pilates Instructor, I am also a Muscle Activation Techniques, Mastery Level Specialist and a strength trainer. These specialties allow me to integrate my knowledge of the muscular system and biomechanics into every Pilates session, creating a tailored workout for each client. My specialty is helping people who are managing injuries and chronic pain but I have also spent years working with elite athletes from the NFL, olympic and professional triathletes, and professional ballet dancers.
After a series of foot injuries in 2001 ended my professional ballet career, I became a Pilates Instructor in New York City (the birth place of Pilates) and a few years later a Muscle Activation Techniques Specialist and a Personal Trainer. The injuries I struggled with as a dancer inspired me to learn and understand all aspects of exercise science- biomechanics, physics, motor learning and neuroscience- all that amazing nerdy stuff!
My passion is helping people become strong and remain strong with a safe and healthy approach. If you are looking for someone excited about the human body and dedicated to helping you reach your goals, with smiles and encouragement along the way, I'm looking forward to meeting you!
