At strongcore pilates we believe in the power of Pilates to heal the body and transform lives.
After decades of weight training and leading thousands of group fitness classes, I turned to Pilates after struggling with chronic pain from several serious injuries to my neck and back. This included 3 crushed vertebrae - compression fractures: T 6- T 9. Finally, a means to exercise that didn't create more pain and inflammation. This inspired me to continue my further my studies in Pilates because I wanted to share this excellent low impact movement- healing modality with others. I believe we all deserve to live happy pain-free lives.

I am passionate about helping you live your best life! As a private client together we develop a plan to improve your health and achieve your fitness goals. I'll perform a postural assessment and gait analysis to inform programming. I'm dedicated to providing personalized attention, providing safe effective exercises that will improve your physical and mental well-being.

At strongcorepilates we believe in a holistic approach to health and wellness. We work with private clients to develop personalized plans that incorporate Pilates, nutrition, and self-care practices to help you feel your best inside and out.
