About Me

I’m a wife and mother with a professional background in marketing. In my early thirties, a series of events led me to make some radical lifestyle changes and that is when I decided to make a career shift. In 2013, I pursued my education in STOTT Pilates and Holistic Nutrition at Bauman College. After years of practicing Pilates, in early 2018 I decided it was about time to start officially preaching this wonderful method to others and that is when Intuitive Pilates studio was born.

What fills me with joy: traveling, meaningful time with family and friends, deep conversations, practicing and teaching Pilates, wall climbing, playing tennis, enjoying good food or a great coffee, and certainly dancing or listening to my favorite music.

My Teaching Style

My teaching style is educational and intuitive. I go beyond guiding choreography—I cue my clients in a way that helps them understand what’s happening in their bodies, empowering them to move with awareness, precision, and control, skills they can carry into other sports and everyday life. I challenge clients beyond their perceived limits through smart, progressive layering while always prioritizing on safety, yet, when appropriate, compromising form in service of exploration and growth.

Certifications

Inspirational Transformation

Every long-term, committed client represents an inspirational transformation to me. Witnessing their journey over the years-and seeing them realize that this high-quality form of movement is meant to be a lifelong practice is the most rewarding part of my work.
