Summary

I am a friendly dancer-turned-fitness professional with a passion for enhancing client health, wellness, and overall quality of life. I have taught both classical and contemporary/athletic Reformer Pilates, with a strong affinity for the athletic style. My classes are fun, effective, and offer a variety of modifications, along with creative use of the reformer machine and props. With experience teaching large group classes, I excel at managing group dynamics and delivering clear, effective verbal cues to ensure proper form and technique for all participants.
