The Pilates Method is designed to give you “suppleness, natural grace, and skill that will be unmistakably reflected in the way you walk, in the way you play, and in the way you work.” —Joseph Pilates
Me- I have been practicing Pilates since 2003, teaching since 2012, and continually learning along the way.
I first discovered Pilates while looking for a way to become stronger. For the first time, I found an exercise method that kept me both mentally and physically engaged. Pilates transformed my body—building strength while greatly improving my alignment, posture, and overall vitality. Those results inspired me to pursue intensive formal training and to share this work with others as a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher.
I completed the Advanced Teacher Training Program at The Pilates Center in Boulder, as well as the Kathy Grant Heritage Training Program—designed and taught by Cara Reeser—in the same time frame 2013. Kathy Stanford Grant was a second-generation student of Joseph Pilates. I continued a good portion of my education with Cara Reeser and Jeremy Laverdure through their graduate program, Movement Science Made Simple and recently graduated from this program.
After many many years of living and teaching in the San Francisco Bay Area, I am now based in Denver, where I continue to deepen my understanding of the body and movement along hiking in the mountains whenever possible along with spending time with my wonderful family and my cat.
Practice- I teach to the body in front of me—whether you are a Pilates instructor, an athlete, navigating physical or structural limitations, or simply seeking a movement practice that meets you where you are. I work with clients of all ages and offer private, semi-private, and group Pilates sessions, both virtually and in person.
Whether we work together in a class or one-on-one setting, I will guide you through movements chosen to support your individual body, goals, and needs. As Kathy Grant said, “one size doesn’t fit all.”
