My first vivid memory of exercise was in graded school. It was basketball month. I hated basketball and hid in the locker room to avoid the humiliation of having to play in class! Fast forward several decades and movement has become my passion. The more I learn about the body and experience progress in my own, the more fascinated I become about the possibilities.

Movement is a celebration of what your body can do, not a punishment for what you ate.
~ Joseph Pilates

FUN FACTS ABOUT ME

I purchased and owned a large physical therapy and Pilates studio from 2008-2020. I have extensive experience in all aspects of running a small business.
Before owning my first business I had ZERO business experience. I attended Wheaton College in Norton, MA and designed my own major in Environmental Psychology and Eastern Religions.
In college I studied abroad in India, Nepal, Tibet and China through the School for International Training (SIT). I met the Dalai Lama and was able to ask him a question. I also contracted a stomach infection while there and spent a week in a hospital in Chengdu, China!
I am a cat lover. My partner, Nick, and I have two cats and also foster felines for the Chittenden County Humane Society (HSCCVT) - adopt, don’t shop!
In 2018 I taught a Pilates & Kittens benefit class for HSCCVT. Very little Pilates happened during that class ☺
