My Approach.
Joseph Pilates believed that a fulfilling life springs first and foremost from a sound mind and body. He devised the principles that we now call the Pilates Method as a way to develop a well rounded physique and level of conditioning that can benefit just about everyone: from complete beginners to exercise to elite athletes.
With Joseph Pilates original vision in mind, I take the time to design a personalized session flow for each of my clients, providing both a comfortable and rejuvenating experience that leaves them feeling stronger, taller, and more flexible.
My Story.
In 2006, I discovered Pilates while recovering from numerous surgeries for a broken patella. Not only did the method help me rehabilitate my knee, it showed me the overall mind and body benefits of a consistent Pilates practice,
After years of being a student, I pursued the personal goal of becoming a Certified Pilates Instructor, completing over 500 hours of study under the mentorship of Master Trainer, Laura Batterman Powers, in Atlanta, Georgia.
In 2022, I relocated to Costa Rica, after retiring from my corporate career and am now focused on helping others discover the power of movement. Movement can change your body, confidence, and overall outlook on life.
