My Pilates Journey

Who even am I? Great question! I'm a fully certified STOTT Pilates Instructor & Instructor Trainer, which means I'm lucky enough to mentor the next generation of Pilates instructors and I really know my stuff. I've been teaching clients of all kinds in high end, boutique Pilates studios for nearly a decade. I've pretty much seen it all.

Before finding Pilates I was a professional dancer and dance teacher but was totally burnt out & working retail to make ends meet. A huge perk of my retail job was that I got a stipend for fitness classes, so I spent every Sunday morning (& any spare minute I got) in reformer Pilates classes which I would never have been able to afford any other way. I was hooked. It was love at first feet in straps.
 
To be honest, I NEVER considered becoming an instructor. Ever. It just didn't occur to me. But one day at work while folding yoga pants, my coworker mentioned she signed up for Pilates teacher training, and on a whim I decided to join her. If she could do it, so could I, right? As an introvert & someone with major social anxiety it was a struggle. But I did it. And through Pilates I found my voice, now I spend my days talking my clients ears off without a second thought & wouldn't have it any other way.

I went on to get fully certified through STOTT Pilates, have taught for nearly a decade in high end studios and am now in the prestigious role of STOTT Pilates Instructor Trainer mentoring the next generation of teachers.

When not doing Pilates you'll often find me weightlifting in my garage or out for a trail run. Or traveling the world with my honey in search of the best coffee roastery & croissants. Or jamming out to a good 90's hip hop playlist, highly recommend Hip Hop BBQ (thanks Mal). Or at home in my comfies watching an entire season or two of a Netflix show in one night.
