my pilates background

I have been teaching movement since I was a teenager. Originally teaching hip hop and tap, then becoming certified in yoga in my 20s; and, soon after- embarking on my pilates career.

I am a fully certified pilates instructor, completing certifications and continued learning courses with Mindful Movement, Balanced Body, Stott Pilates and Peak Pilates.

Since completing my certifications I have taught in group and private mat/ reformer/ chair and cadillac classes in private members clubs, hotels and studios in Canada, Mexico and the Bahamas.

my journey to pilates

I was introduced to Pilates as a teenager, by my mother who took me to classes at the Stott pilates studio in Toronto.

I became reacquainted with pilates in my twenties, due to the urgings of my medical team at the Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Clinic in Toronto (part of the University Health Network).

I started taking classes at Mindful Movement Centre in Toronto; and, after seeing benefits immediately (in particular a reduced reliance on painkillers, a reduction in symptoms and an improvement in mobility)- I was an instant convert.

Initially, I made the decision that I wanted to learn pilates for my own purposes; and, then quickly realizing it was more than a personal practice but a calling to share this healing modality with others.
