Why Pilates became my Intuitive Movement
I absolutely love Pilates. I love how it makes me feel, think and show up in life. It has always made sense. It creates a sense of calm, getting me out of my head and into my body. I appreciate that there aren't a lot of repetitions, and that the emphasis is on quality versus quantity. Each exercise prepares my body for the next. The progression allows my body to move with control and grace and I am aware of how powerful breathing is.
Services
I also love to instruct, inspire and motivate with passion. It resonates with me, largely because it isn't about changing your body but feeling more comfortable in the body you are in today. Many of my clients have shared how much they value Pilates, in both its efficiency and effectiveness. They are surprised that the sessions fly by so quickly and are amazed by their increase in energy level, positive mood and overall wellness.
I teach from a HAES approach and offer a variety of equipment, props and movement patterns that best suits each client. I encourage clients to check in throughout the session and reflect on what sensations come up. I want to make sure clients feel connected, challenged, supported and excited in their sessions.
I invite you to find a movement practice that feels best for your body. See my Intuitive Movement section for more information on finding joyful movement.
Some insurance companies may reimburse you for Pilates based on a medical condition. Pilates may be eligible to be billed under PT/OT, manual therapy or alternative care. I can provide you with a Superbill to submit to your insurance company.

Intuitive Wellness
We know that the standard way of wellness hasn't worked and that guilt, shame, and fear won't make us any "healthier".Intuitive Wellness is a dynamic process that is always evolving and unique to each individual. Our wellbeing is affected by what we do, think, feel, and believe. Our definition of wellness has been significantly influenced by social norms and creates doubt, anxiety, and fear. Instead, wellness should align with our intuition and emphasize pleasure, satisfaction, and self-care. Ultimately, this will be what leads us to long-term health. Wellness includes our mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical health. Within each of these, we get to decide what is valuable and how to best take care of ourselves. Part of the intuitive process includes using interoceptive awareness (subtle sensory body-based feelings). This tool is paramount to our intuitive wellness. It's there that our intentions, choices, and actions empower positive change. It's where we thrive. I challenge you to redefine what wellness means to you. Life can flow with more ease and joy. Only you can connect the dots. .
