I’ve been teaching Classical equipment and mat Pilates for 12+ years, but I’ve been a lover of the method since 2002. After my senior year of high school I developed sever agoraphobia and couldn’t leave my room without having massive panic attacks. Up until that point I was very active. Living in Florida, my friends and I would go surfing every day, sometimes twice a day. The fact that I couldn’t be active added to my depression/anxiety circle. During this period of time, my mother gifted me a Mari Winsor Pilates DVD box set and I was hooked. After a year of suffering from agoraphobia, Pilates provided me relief and more control over my body and mind. I moved to Wilmington, NC and took the In Balance comprehensive Classical Pilates training with Carrie Pages in 2009.
I want to make each Pilates session effective and fun!
