Whether you’re an elite athlete seeking ways to improve your momentum, or someone overcoming chronic illness or injury, I take great pride and care to get you moving confidently toward your goals, while staying true to the original Pilates method.

Each day I work with people of all ages, shapes and abilities, using a hands-on approach to help them enjoy life and thrive in the body they have. Using the best equipment available, I provide a therapeutic setting, teaching the system of exercises created by Joseph Pilates almost 100 years ago.

As a certified Romana’s Pilates Instructor, I’ve studied under Grand Master Instructors Sari Mejia Santo, Cynthia Lochard and Cynthia Shipley. Senior Master Instructor Javier Pérez Pont. Master Instructors Daria Pace, Trish Garland, Roxane Richards Huang, Level 3 Fidel Garcia. I continue working locally with Lauren Stephen, Level 3. Along with many other mentors who have helped me achieve my dreams. I am grateful to Jérémie Perroud of True Pilates Prague for introducing me to the original Pilates Method and to Colleen Bickel, DPT for her encouragement. 

As an athlete suffering with multiple forms of chronic autoimmune inflammatory arthritis since the age of 12, I would like to thank my excellent care team for helping me continue on my journey of strength. In the aftermath of chronic pain after an automobile accident, Pilates put me back together again and allowed me to avoid surgical intervention.

In my downtime 

In the past I’ve worked as a portfolio manager, a private yacht chef and as a law librarian. I enjoy spending time with my daughter, dancing, practicing a variety of musical instruments, and exploring the incredible nature of the Pacific Northwest with a special interest in mycology. I also volunteer for the Arthritis Foundation.
