With over eight years of experience as a certified personal trainer through the American Council on Exercise, I’ve always been driven by a deep passion for helping others discover their strength —physically and mentally. My own journey took a pivotal turn in 2019 when I discovered classical Pilates while living in Boston, MA. At the time, I was managing scoliosis, muscular imbalances, and chronic overtraining injuries. Pilates quickly became the missing piece in my movement practice, offering not just physical healing, but a new sense of balance and connection to my body.
After relocating to Florida, I pursued contemporary training through STOTT Pilates, earning certifications in Mat, Reformer, and Injuries & Special Populations. This contemporary training gave me a strong foundation in anatomy and movement mechanics, allowing me to connect with clients of many backgrounds and abilities. My journey came full circle when I began working with Chantall for my personal practice. Her classical Pilates teaching reignited everything I had originally fallen in love with about the method and the results were undeniable. Her mentorship inspired me to join the Classical Pilates USA Bridge Program in 2025—an exciting next step in deepening my practice and teaching from a place of authenticity and tradition that allows me to share the best results possible with my clients. Today, as a full-time instructor, my favorite part of teaching is watching clients gain confidence in themselves and their abilities. I believe in celebrating every win—big or small—and root for all my clients to tap in to their highest potential.
