A note from Lead Trainer and Owner
My Purpose, My "Why"
For years I overworked myself at a high stress desk job leading a team of 10. I commuted for 3 hours a day in a car, failed to nourish and take care of myself, and became extremely disconnected to my body and my needs. I started pilates honestly because I hated exercising and I loved that you could spend the first half of the class lying down, away from the mirrors, reconnecting to your mind, body, and soul. I stayed with pilates because it became addicting to move in this method. My body craved movement for the first time. Pilates got me out of my head and my to do list and away from my work desk and phone. I was able to make better decisions with food and other activities because I had a release and wasn’t so stressed or tight.
Although you probably know I am a Certified Pilates Instructor, what you may not know is I also have my Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Massachusetts Amherst Commonwealth Honors College in Kinesiology (Exercise Science). Out of thousands of students I earned numerous internships with the Athletic Training department, Cybex research grants, and research The Physical Activity and Health Lab. I was nominated President of the club for my major 3 consecutive years during my undergraduate career. Even with all my experience in a health and wellness field and years and years of education on the importance of exercise I too got stressed, busy with life's obligations, and fell off track. You’re not alone. If you’re stressed, feeling off track, feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to begin we would love to help! It’s time to find joy in movement again. Movement doesn't need to feel hard and it can truly be something you look forward to.
Once you start feeling good you can start showing up for the people that matter most to you.
