I am a Balanced Body Senior trained pilates instructor. I have been teaching and practicing pilates for just over 13 years with both studio and clinical teaching experience. I like to motivate people to come out of their comfort zone and explore challenging postures and evoke a bit of sweat. I truly believe that pilates has the power to change people lives.

I started my journey as a Prana Vinyasa Yoga teacher over 15 years ago and opened my first studio in Monterey in 2004. My classes are heavily influenced by the teachers that I have studied with; Rusty Wells, Shiva Rea, Coral Brown & Steve Ross. When you roll up your yoga mat at the end of class, that is when our real practice starts!
