I’m a comprehensive classically trained plus-size Pilates Instructor [NCPT] who believes in teaching the PERSON in front of me by finding and using the right tools to help them succeed in their movement practice.  

 

I have always practiced Pilates in a larger body. I went through my 700+ hours of teacher training in a larger body. I was extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to work with people of all shapes and sizes with different things going on. It was an amazing experience!

​

I want to empower people to take charge of their movement journey while allowing me to guide them toward what they'd like to accomplish.  I want everyone to feel safe and included in a movement practice and in a fitness space.

Props, substitutions, and/or variations will ALWAYS be options during my sessions to ensure inclusion. 

 

I am a total NERD and Rebel/Questioner, so you'll always be able to ask me why we are doing something. The more you inquire the more you learn...and then you can take those ideas home with you!

 

What I Believe:

• Every body is a different shape and size and this should be celebrated.

• Every body moves differently because we all have "stuff" going on.

• Every body can do Pilates, the body just may need a prop or variation. 

• It doesn’t matter what the person next to you can or cannot do. You are two different people.

• Listen to YOUR body and figure out what your body can do NOQ. Celebrate THAT!

• Pilates was meant to be practiced over a lifetime; start small and build on it. We all have to start somewhere.
