My journey with Pilates started when I was a physical therapist working in Connecticut. We used Pilates equipment in outpatient therapy clinics. After injuring my back/pelvis, I tried traditional physical therapy exercises without much improvement. I started taking Pilates classes once a week. Not only did my symptoms resolve, I began to move with more power and control throughout my whole body.

​

I started Pilates teacher training so I could bring mat Pilates to my patients when we moved back to Missouri. After nine years working as a therapist, the healthcare industry no longer felt like a good fit. In 2016 I left physical therapy and finished comprehensive Pilates training. I started teaching group Pilates classes and private sessions.

In my group classes, I had several yoga teachers tell me that I taught Pilates "like a yoga teacher." I did not know what they meant at the time but I was intrigued. I had always loved yoga classes so in 2020 I completed a 200 hour yoga teacher training. ​I like to incorporate elements of physical therapy, Pilates, and yoga into my classes to create holistic movement training. I look forward to helping you find connections in your body, mind, and spirit.​​​​
