My Story...

Headshot1_high res.JPG

Lying in a hospital bed, recovering from my second brain surgery in three weeks, I felt deeply grateful - not just for the excellent medical care I received, but for the strength and resilience I had cultivated long before that moment. I knew I would not only recover but that I had the capacity to come back stronger than ever. 

​

For over 25 years, I have worked as a Pilates instructor, training clients in a one on one setting, working with individuals with conditions that range from Parkinson's and Cerebral Palsy to chronic orthopedic issues. I began my career as a Pilates instructor in New York in 2001 and became a Teacher Trainer for Power Pilates, teaching certification programs and continuing education around the country.  In 2005, I became the co-director of education for Studio Lotus in Atlanta, GA

 

In 2013, I returned to grad school earning my master’s degree in Nutrition & Integrative Health. After my own medical experiences renewed my sense of purpose to support my clients in navigating their health journeys, I became a Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach. 

​

Six weeks after my second surgery—once my PICC line was removed—I was back to swinging my 53-pound kettlebell. This is, in essence, what I wish for all my clients. While not everyone will swing a heavy bell, there is some benchmark of fortitude that they can achieve, and my job is to support and guide them along their way.

​

As I tell my clients, if you are a human in a body, you will not go through this life unscathed.  Whether on large or small scales, there will be something that challenges all of us. My purpose as a coach and nutritionist is to support each client in finding their own unique path to lasting health.

​

Outside of teaching, I can be found indoor rock climbing, paddle boarding, taking fitness classes around town and spending time with my 16 year old daughter who is my ultimate motivator to be healthy!

​

I look forward to being a part of your journey.
