Meet the Instructor who will lead the certification

I founded my own business in October of 2013, after realizing my vision was to create a beautiful, calm, and serene studio, where people enjoyed coming to. My singular focus is to give back to the community the Method of Pilates as it was intended so long ago. My ultimate passion is in teaching, and I know you will find out first-hand that my number one priority will always be YOU, and meeting each and every individual need!

I started studying Pilates as a dancer, and knew the moment I performed “footwork” on the Reformer, I was destined to become an instructor. The way it made my body feel was unlike anything I had ever discovered. I initially started my training in St. Petersburg, Florida with fellow classical instructor Linda McNamar, who then referred me to New York City to continue my training. It was there, in 2002, that I finished the rigorous 600+ hour certification to become a 2nd Generation Pilates Instructor under the eye of Romana Kryzanowska, Joseph Pilates’s protégé. Through Romana’s passion for life and endless dedication to the work, I was able to see what an immeasurable gift to the world Pilates was.
