My passion for movement and wellness led me to a Kinesiology degree (Western, 2001) and a Bachelor of Education (Western, 2002). I've always loved dance, martial arts, running, and yoga, but I truly found my home in Pilates.

I discovered Pilates in 2008 after a spinal injury made my usual workouts too challenging. From my first session, I was hooked—it strengthened my body, protected my joints, and helped me heal while still giving me a dynamic workout. Pilates also carried me through pregnancy and health challenges, helping me stay strong and feel good in my body.

Inspired by my own experience, I became certified in Pilates Reformer and Barre Body and transitioned from teaching high school to teaching Pilates full-time. Now, I run my own boutique studio in Wortley Village, where I help busy people move better, feel stronger, and prioritize their wellness.

I know how hard it can be to make time for yourself, so my sessions are tailored to your goals—whether that’s strength, rehab, or just feeling great in your body. I’ll guide, motivate, and support you every step of the way.

Let’s move together—I'm here to support you every step of the way. Feel free to reach out with any questions, and I’d love to welcome you into the studio!

Let’s work together

  • Pilates offers a range of benefits for both physical and mental well-being. It emphasizes core strength, flexibility, and overall body awareness, which can improve posture, balance, and alignment. By focusing on controlled movements and proper breathing, Pilates enhances muscular endurance and reduces the risk of injury. Additionally, it promotes mental clarity and relaxation, making it an effective stress-relief practice. Regular Pilates sessions can lead to increased energy levels, better coordination, and a stronger, more resilient body. Also, it’s pretty fun!

  • This is a small studio where all clients receive indiviualized training in an intimate setting. I offer Private Reformer and semi-private Mat Pilates (up to 4 people) which are held at my in-home studio on Victor St. in Wortley Village. For Private and Semi-private classes you can sign up online for the time that works best for you.

    Group Mat Pilates and Barre classes have a maximum of 8 people and are run as 8-week sessions. They are held at 190 Wortley Road in the Rising Moon Belly Dance studio. See the booking schedule for details.
