I knew that ‘movement’ was going to change my life when I began taking dance classes in 8th grade. It was love at first pirouette! After continuing throughout high school and college, I went on to earn my BA from the University of Illinois Chicago in Movement Science & Exercise Promotion. My devotion to fitness began as a result of rigorous workshops and performance opportunities abroad; given that the intensity of training across various genres triggered equally acute hip pain. After the pilates method was recommended, I experienced the undeniable payoff that follows after we embrace the interrelatedness between our physical health and earnest mindfulness. 

Ultimately, I have developed a stronger, lifelong sense of how I use my body through proper biomechanics. Therefore, my instruction is rooted in a philosophy that mirrors identifying and working within the capabilities surrounding our core, limbs, muscles, consciousness, and overall anatomy. I meet my students where they are at & encourage them to do the same as they get to know their bodies and mind in a newfound way.
