PILATES FOR PAIN & SCOLIOSIS
For years, Pilates has been embraced by healthcare professionals to:
-- Reduce pain. Did you know? Back pain involves more than your "back"!
-- Reduce chance of injury, especially in sports;
-- Promote a healthy spine. Pilates changed my Scoliosis! Ask me how!
-- I love teaming up with your Massage Therapist, Physical Therapist, and Physician, especially if you have Scoliosis (with a referral, please).
-- I am also a Certified Graston Technique® Specialist. It worked so well on my own Plantar Fasciitis (done by my Chiropractor), that I was "all in."

PILATES FOR ATHLETES
Pilates has been embraced by athletes of all stripes for:
-- Reducing the frequency and severity of injury;
-- Helping you stay conditioned if you’re sidelined from your sport;
-- Improving performance through increased strength, flexibility, agility, and muscle balance.
I'm also a Certified Graston Technique® Specialist. Graston Technique has become my personal game-changer, and it's such a great tool for reducing and preventing injury.

PILATES FOR SENIORS
Falling can cause injury no matter what age we are, but we are more susceptible to debilitating injury as we get older. And in order to stay as self-sufficient as possible, we need to work on strength, balance, agility, and more. I love showing people how to do just that.

OUR CLASSES

Intro To Pilates
You will learn basic exercises on the Reformer, how to use it safely, and see how Pilates can meet your unique needs and fitness goals. Pilates transformed my body — I look forward to helping you start!

SCOLIOSIS and Therapeutic-Pilates
Pilates is often used after completing Physical Therapy, to keep improving your strength and range of motion. It can help old injuries too. I have gotten referrals from Physicians, Physical Therapists, and Chiropractors!

Franklin Method®:
How does your neck and shoulder feel today? How about your feet? Hips and Back? Often people notice improvement in a few minutes. I have used these exercises to help spinal cord injury survivors, Seniors, and athletes of all types.
IN THE NEWS:
PILATES CHANGED MY SPINE & GOT RID OF CHRONIC PAIN
I was diagnosed with Scoliosis at age 10 told by my Doctor that there was "nothing" exercise could do to change that. He was wrong. I experienced chronic pain starting at age 19 -- but it stopped at age 37 when I discovered Pilates and practiced it daily. After 2 years an xray showed substantial improvement, and I would love to help others improve their quality of life.
