My 31 years as a Sport-Specifc Pilates Instructor, Rehab Specialist, & Nutrition Coach, designing hundreds of custom programs that get results, have taught me how to help everyone from athletes to couch potatoes hit their fitness goals. I’m the founder of Tami’s Take On…Pilates. Rehab. Nutrition. It’s my passion to help people do the things they love…better and without pain!

My many years as a dancer and busy working actor & model (Starship Troopers, In The House, General Hospital, 50+ National Commercials) meant I needed to be in peak physical condition. Since my initial Pilates certification more than 30 years ago, I had the opportunities to learn from Master Level Pilates Instructors, trained under top Physical Therapists, and incorporated my many fields of study to help my clients achieve their fitness goals. I’ve worked with everyone from CEOs to nationally-competing athletes, from weekend warriors to fitness fraidy-cats, from little kids to grandparents.

 

I’m also an instructor for Lesley Logan’s Online Pilates Classes.com (with Rachel Piper & Mindi Westfall) where I get to teach other Pilates instructors, aficionados, and newbies.  It’s about so much more than the exercises…It’s about laughing, learning and celebrating!

Kersten is a Comprehensive Pilates Instructor (through the Club Pilates). Originally from Silicon Valley, California, Kersten moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to complete her BS in Marketing (2009) as well as her MBA at Oral Roberts University (2010). Soon after graduating she worked with various small business owners, local advertising, and agencies across the nation, eventually leading her to launch her own digital marketing company in 2012, Speakeasy Market Strategies. 

After 10 years in business Kersten discovered pilates as a way to relieve stress of being a business owner and developed a passion. In March of 2022 she began her Teacher Training certification. It was during this certification that she used her experience in social media to document her journey through teacher training growing a community learning alongside her to show how pilates is for all bodies. While growing this community she sought additional training, purchasing Lesley Logan's flashcards, making a reel using the cards, and connecting with the OPC community. What started out as a teacher training journey online transformed Kersten now to being the head social media coach for Profitable Pilates Agency.   

 

Kersten launched her own virtual pilates practice Peach Pear Pilates -- where all shapes do pilates. She is passionate about making the world of pilates size inclusive and celebrating the joy of pilates movements for all. Kersten would love to educate and train instructors across the world how the Pilates world can embrace its catchphrase and welcome all bodies to do pilates. She would like to pursue classical training in the near future to build upon her training. You can connect with Kersten through any and all of her social media platforms.
