I began practicing Pilates in 2006 when I discovered it was a really great workout for me, giving me strength, flexibility and better posture, plus it complemented my running routine and life-long interest in fitness and nutrition. Growing up on the beautiful California coast, I have always had an active and healthy lifestyle; traveling the world, running marathons, practicing yoga, hiking mountains, and walking countless city miles with my dogs.

In 2013 I began a 700 + hour, year-long intensive apprentice program, working with Martt Lawrence at the Pilates Center of San Francisco and world renown instructor Dorothee Vandewalle at Metropolitan Pilates, Seattle. In 2014 I earned my teaching certification from Dorothee and began teaching full time in San Francisco at various studios around the city. Since becoming certified, I’ve continued my deep love of Pilates and continued my Pilates education through workshops, conferences and private sessions with world-class Pilates instructors.

I love to teach Pilates to people of all levels and am an active supporter of those seeking healthy lifestyle changes. My favorite part of being a Pilates insstructor is taking a student to the next level and seeing them progress!
