After an accident (falling off a big horse) and a 6 hour back surgery, my doctor told me to take Pilates classes. I took my first class in 2005. My back is in better shape now than prior to my accident.

I realized that I love Pilates so much that I wanted to teach it to others, so they may benefit the way I have. Since I am already a teacher (elementary education), the teaching part has been an easy transition. The movements we do are also easy to teach since I have been doing them so long. I started my teacher training in 2012 and began teaching mat classes in 2013. I have completed my apparatus training and are now a COMPREHENSIVE CERTIFIED PILATES INSTRUCTOR. My certification is through Classical Pilates Education in Florida. My teacher trainer was Bambi Watt, owner of Willow Pilates Studio in Nashville. Bambi was trained by Romana Kryzanowsky, who was trainer by Joseph Pilates.

My posture, balance and body is in much better shape now than it ever has been. I no longer have the aches and pains of age (but do get some when I do not work out regularly)! I hope you decide to join me in a class soon!
