Fun Fact:
In the past, I worked as a scenic artist for regional theater. The scenery I created even made it to the Broadway stage! If you attended A Christmas Carol, at McCarter Theatre in Princeton, from the years 2000 to 2016, you have seen my work!
Why did you go into Pilates instruction?
My fitness journey began after the birth of my first child, in an attempt to feel whole again. After many years in a physically demanding job and a pregnancy, I was broken. I had constant shoulder pain, sciatica, lower back pain, and pelvic floor issues. When my youngest was three, I joined RWJ to take Zumba classes. It was then, that I was invited to a demo in the Reformer Studio. The trainer was so well informed and attuned to my needs that I was hooked. I left feeling better than I had in years! Training in Pilates made me healthier than ever, giving me greater strength and mobility and no more pain. After experiencing these effects, I decided to pursue Comprehensive Certification in Pilates so that I can help others feel whole again.
