My Why: Staying Strong for Life
I'm a wife, proud mom of three daughters, stepmom, mother-in-law, "Linny" to three precious grandkids and an eternal student of life. My greatest goal? To live my best life possible—with as much health, happiness, and presence as I can—for as long as I can.
I want to keep my body and mind strong, capable, and ready for whatever life brings—whether that means getting down on the floor building forts with my grandkids, hiking in the mountains with my girls, traveling with my husband, or simply feeling good enough to enjoy the everyday things that make life mine.
That's a big part of why movement matters so much to me. It isn't about chasing perfection. It's about building the strength, mobility, and confidence to keep doing the things we love for as long as we can.
And that belief shapes the way I teach.
I've spent over 25 years working in the wellness and movement world. I’ve had the honor of supporting people through different stages of their lives and their relationship with movement.
As a former dancer, movement has always been part of how I understand the body. That foundation still shapes how I teach today—with an appreciation for balance in body, mind, and spirit. It led me to complete the Core Center’s intensive 13-month Pilates teacher training program, where I studied under Mary J Brown and developed a deeper appreciation for the Pilates method and the many ways it can support us throughout our lives..
Since then, I’ve continued my education through CoreBarre, Healing Touch, and ongoing study in the Franklin Method and the Health Coach Training Program through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
After all these years, I'm still learning—and I hope I always will be. I continue to learn from teachers across Pilates, movement, and wellness, bringing what I learn back into my own practice and into the way I teach.

My Approach:
Whether you're new to Pilates, returning back into movement, or simply wanting to feel stronger and move better, I'll meet your where you are.
I believe that Pilates should help you build a body that is strong, capable, and able to move with greater freedom and ease. Through the work, we will build strength, control, and mobility while helping you better understand your body and how it moves.
Pilates is a practice that continues to change and grow with you. What you need today may be different from what you need tomorrow, and that is part of the beauty of the method.
There's always somewhere to begin, and there's always somewhere to grow,
