I graduated with a Master of Science degree in Clinical Behavioral Psychology in 2002, but switched my career focus after watching an infomercial on Pilates! I started my training in 2003 through the first STOTT PILATES licensed facility in the United States: Equilibrium Mind-Body Fitness in Bloomfield Hills, MI. I studied under Lead Instructor Trainers Eva Powers & Kim Dunleavy and Instructor Trainers Gayle Eubanks & Amy Slowik.

 

I earned my full STOTT PILATES Certification and became an ACE Certified Personal Trainer in 2007. I have since participated in dozens of continuing education courses to keep up to date on the latest research regarding the most effective techniques in the fitness industry. In 2022, I earned three Specialist Certificates: Active for Life, Athletic Conditioning and Group Mat. 

 

I would describe my teaching style as fun, with a focus on quality and safety. I always strive to learn and understand more about the mindful movement of our bodies. My goal is to have you leave your class feeling uplifted and accomplished. I look forward to working out with you!
