ALOHA
Aloha! Thank you for finding me. Maybe you’re new and trying to figure out: What IS "Pilates and Bodywork", and what can it do for me?” I love to help people improve flexibility, balance, and coordination; address and prevent injury; and get rid of those chronic aches. I help you understand the source of discomfort and how to improve. And I have a mixed Therapeutic Massage and Pilates practice.
Well, I love sharing MY STORY. That’s a good way to get started.

What is Pilates, then? What is Franklin Method®?
That’s something that even longtime teachers are trying to define in words. It honestly makes more sense to EXPERIENCE them both, and you can look at the TESTIMONIALS.
That’s why I invite you to try, with a specially priced intro offer.
1. Pilates
Pilates started with Joseph Pilates almost 100 years ago He called it “Contrology.” It involves controlled movements and breath, to improve your strength, flexibility, posture, and more. The exercises can be done on a Mat or on specialized Equipment (look at the photos!).Many people experience benefits from Pilates. And you can go back to MY STORY to see how it helped get rid of chronic pain and improved my Spine.Nobody teaches today, exactly how Joseph Pilates taught. However, there were a number of Elders who studied with him (some still are alive) and teach as close to the original as possible. This is Classical Pilates. Yet -- They are all different!Modern Pilates developed in the 1980s and incorporates the most up to date Sciences. Many Physical Therapists and Massage Therapists gravitated towards the Modern styles. Modern teachers adapt to changes in Science -- for example, updated Anatomy, and Biomechanics.I embrace Classical and Modern teachers and have enjoyed workshops from both!
2. Franklin Method®

My Pilates style is Modern and Science-Based.
My Pilates style is Modern and Science-Based. Pilates with Osteopathic Sciences. I also incorporate therapeutic Bodywork at times, which isn’t something that most do.I did a highly modified Pilates to change my spine, hips, feet, and more. The person who started me out on that track was Physiotherapist Anne Dawson.I have been teaching since 2008. It is so thrilling to watch people’s bodies transform over time.
