As a yogi, my Pilates journey started on the mat, incorporating mat Pilates over the years throughout my practice. I was introduced to the reformer and tower at The Studio and haven’t looked back since! I love feeling strong in my body and clear in my mind, only the way a great class can. I make it my goal to bring that feeling to each client during each class. I like to incorporate my yoga background with a gentleness as we build the heat! Pilates has become a lifestyle for me and it’s so exciting to learn, teach, share and grow in my favorite place!

It only took one class for me to fall in love with Pilates. After a car accident, years spent behind a desk, and wobbly knees from competitive cheerleading, I discovered that Pilates helped me build strength (in the often overlooked muscles) and connect to my body in a way I hadn’t before. I pursued teacher training to better understand and improve my own practice; but It didn’t take long to realize I wanted to share my passion for Pilates with others. I completed my 500+ hour Comprehensive Pilates training through Balanced Body, and graduated from the Mentorship program at The Studio this year! I’m an Engineering Program Manager by day so you will find me teaching at night. Creating a safe space for people to explore the method is very important to me. The hope is that I can leave people better than I found em’ ❤️
