☽About Me☾

Born in our Nation's Capital and raised in the state for Lovers, my compass has always pointed towards adventure. Growing up in the 80s, I belonged to the last generation that truly embraced "The Great Outdoors" before technology tethered us to our couches. Though I wasn't a sports enthusiast as a child, I had an innate love for movement. Movement equaled freedom, and I even knew that then.

In my twenties, I decided to amplify my life's adventure by joining the Air Force, which led me to California. This move marked the beginning of a transformative chapter. Physical activity became an integral part of my daily routine, not just as a personal choice, but as a requirement of my job. The military not only instilled discipline but also exposed me to a new way of life.

My journey took me to Europe, where I lived for six enriching years. During this time, I seized every opportunity to explore as many places as I could reach. My insatiable appetite for wanderlust and knowledge continued to grow, but my passion for movement met Pilates.  Pilates, to me, is more than a form of exercise; it's a lifestyle that aligns with my belief in the freedom and vitality that movement brings. 

The beautiful art of controlled exercise, known as Pilates, traces its roots back to the early 1900s. Interestingly, its inception can be attributed to a passionate German man named Joe Pilates, whose birthday happened to fall just a day after mine. As a fellow fiery Sagittarius, I couldn't help but feel a cosmic connection to this form of exercise that embodies a burning passion for life.

My journey into the world of Pilates took a significant turn when I opened and managed a Club Pilates. Surrounded by dedicated instructors and enthusiastic Pilates pupils, I felt the calling to become an instructor myself. The universe seemed to align, and the opportunity presented itself. Once I held my certification in hand, I packed my leggings, along with my knowledge, carefully curated playlists, and that same zest for life, ready to take my Pilates journey on the road.

Becoming a Pilates instructor wasn't just a career choice; it was a continuation of my commitment to movement, vitality, and sharing the transformative power of Pilates with others. The road ahead is filled with new destinations, challenges, and the joy of witnessing the positive impact Pilates can have on individuals seeking a path to wellness.
