About
My background is 17 years of professional dancing, mostly modern and jazz with a MFA in Dance from Univ. of Michigan. I transitioned into the movement arts beginning in 1994, studying and getting certified in Pilates, Gyrotonic and Feldenkrais methods of movement education. I began working with rehab clients from the start because the PT referred clients because of the versatility of the Pilates method. I founded my own company in 2001 and have continued to educated, service and assist clients in improving strength, flexibility, balance and coordination and getting back to functional movement in daily life. I use all three methods of movement education in service of my clients needs. I have a studio in my home where I do privates and semi-privates (2 people). I enjoy educating and assisting people become more aware of how they move and assisting them in finding alternatives to some of their habits that don't serve them any longer. Watching them learn and discover more efficient and easier ways of moving in their daily life is very rewarding.

After an automobile accident, I spent months in traditional physical therapy. Although I made progress, I was still left with daily pain and body stiffness. Michael's work is amazing. He is professional, extremely knowledgeable about the physical mechanics of the body, gentle, and patient. He also worked with someone I know who is in great shape, and he took her through an amazing pilates workout. It is clear he has the ability to work with people of all different fitness levels. Highly recommended! Thank you Michael!

I've been taking Pilates classes from Michael for almost a year. Michael is able to identify any issues I'm having and tailor exercises to meet those needs while improving my awareness of personal habits that need to be corrected. He is always professional and gently but firmly holds me accountable for my own progress. He is very knowledgeable on a wide range of techniques and takes a holistic approach - definitely not "one size fits all". I recommend Intelligent Movement Systems very highly.

nothing could be better. michael is the third pilates instructor i have had, and he is far and away the best. he is patient, professional, very knowledgeable in physiology and movement. in the time i have spent under his supervision i have increased my strength, balance and relieved any muscular problems i may have. he has also helped my husband with his back and neck problems as well. we can't give enough positive feedback!

My 12+ years of private sessions with Michael has helped keep me strong, flexible and balanced. His expertise in rehab has helped me regain both range of motion and strength after shoulder surgery to repair a torn tendon. Above all, I feel great after a session with Michael!

Michael is helping me correct 50 years of bad habits to be able to move into my grandparenting years with the ability to move and play without pain. NO MORE BACK PAIN!!! I'd recommend him to anyone who wants to have more flexibility or want to move more efficiently, without pain.
