A bit about me...I started moving with dance classes at the age of 4, and continued my training in Ballet, jazz, tap and contemporary dance to a professional level to achieve my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance from UMKC in the United States. I continued dancing professionally in the US and on cruise ships before moving to London, England. It was there that I began to cross over my training into the world of fitness. Soon after that, I was introduced to Pilates and became just as passionate about Pilates as I was about dance. I became a fully certified Stott Pilates instructor and opened my own Pilates studio in Ottawa, Canada. Focusing on private and semi private instruction on the Pilates apparatus (Reformer, Chair, Cadillac and Barrels) as well as the mat work. I also began to incorporate small group classes in Barre, Stretching, Yin Yoga and Zumba, finding a perfect blend of Pilates and dance based workouts. When the pandemic started, I was able to transition my business into keeping 'in person' instruction on the Pilates apparatus, while moving the group classes into the virtual world of Live Classes on Zoom. As well I began to create several Online Courses available for purchase of self practice. And now I am so pleased to continue my expansion of online programming with my On Demand Virtual Studio. I have grown a strong passion for Pilates and find it thrilling to enable clients to develop a deeper level of body awareness and core strength while improving their overall health and lifestyle. I love being able to create fun and creative programing drawing from my artistic background, as well as from my Pilates and fitness knowledge to help with strength, mobility and posture.
