Hi! I'm Candice. My journey with Pilates started when I was a physical therapist working in Connecticut. I worked with another therapist who was a master trainer for Polestar Pilates. We had a full studio of Pilates equipment in our clinic to use with rehab patients. I started getting serious about Pilates when I injured my own back and pelvis. I tried traditional therapy exercises without much improvement. I couldn't go back to my normal workouts so I started taking a Pilates mat classes once a week. Not only did my symptoms resolve, I began to move with more power and control throughout my whole body. ​ I trained to teach mat Pilates so that when we moved back to Missouri I could still use Pilates with my patients. Then after nine years working as a physical therapist, the healthcare industry no longer felt like a good fit. In 2016, I left physical therapy and finished comprehensive Pilates training. I have been teaching Pilates classes ever since. I opened this studio in 2021 to teach private lessons. In 2025, I added small group reformer classes. I am also trained as a 200 hour registered yoga teacher and certified as a Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist. ​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 your strength in body, mind, and spirit.​​​​
