I LOVE THIS WORK...
AND FEEL SO FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS!
For over 20 years, my goal as a Pilates teacher has been to give each person who I work with a better understanding of how their unique body works, along with the skills they will need to take ownership of their physical well-being. It’s a wonderful thing to watch a client use the Pilates Method to become stronger and more agile, and see them experience movement from a place of joy, rather then pain or frustration.
In 2019 I added Orthopedic Massage Therapy to my practice. I find that a combination of the intelligent, quality movement found in Pilates, coupled with strategic, well-planned manual release work allows people to gain faster, longer-lasting results than they would performing either modality on its own.
I have had the good fortune to work with a wide range of clients over the years: Athletes, dancers, weekend warriors, senior citizens, those rehabilitating from injuries, as well as people with chronic pain, Parkinson's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Elhers-Danlos, and scoliosis. I strive to meet each client as an individual and remain fluid to their unique strengths and challenges, working as a team toward greater health, improved quality of life, and the joy and confidence that healthy movement can provide.
In addition to my private practice, I’m also on the faculty at McKinnon Body Therapy Center. I teach future massage therapists anatomy, physiology, and pathology, as well as how to work with people living with and recovering from conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and neurological conditions.
