About Me
I grew up in Southern California, always drawn to movement and a mindful, health-conscious way of living. My path to Pilates began with curiosity and quickly became a lifelong pursuit. The precision, discipline, and intelligence of the classical method spoke to something deep within me – a desire to move with purpose, strength, ease, and flow.
My journey started in 2002 with a few mat classes at a local gym. Captivated by the work, I began to study and practice on my own, discovering how deeply Pilates could transform the way we inhabit our bodies. Later, while traveling abroad, I sustained a knee injury that required surgery and rehabilitation. Pilates became an essential part of my recovery – restoring not only physical strength but also confidence and balance. That experience confirmed what I already knew: this method is both art and science, and I wanted to share it.
I completed my comprehensive certification under Jill Cassady through the Pilates Technique Certification program in Santa Monica, immersing myself in the traditional New York lineage of Pilates.
Rooted in this classical foundation, my teaching emphasizes precision, control, and seamless integration of strength and flexibility. Each session is a practice in alignment, awareness, and discipline that leads to true freedom in movement. Pilates keeps the body resilient and balanced – supporting us in all the ways we choose to move, create, and live.
