A Bit About Me
I was born a mover with the middle name Grace. So, naturally my parents put me in Ballet. I fell deeply in love with it, and through a lot of work and dedication I danced professionally for 10 years. Pilates and GYROTONIC® were always a part of my training, and I attribute a lot of my success to these methods. They have kept me out of injury, and in the peak of my physical and mental condition.
While I was still dancing I completed my Classical Pilates Certification at the Pilates Institute of Southern California with Stacey Vargas. A few years later I completed my GYROTONIC® Certification traveling to San Francisco, and Barcelona to work with Master Trainers such as Lisa Marie Goodwin, Kathy Van Patten, and Debra Rose. I have also taught ballet for over a decade and spent countless hours in physical therapy observing and preventing injury.
I have a unique ability to combine professional athleticism with an acute awareness of the body. I am an extremely passionate teacher, and I love working with people of all ages and athletic ability. I try to live everyday gracefully, and to share this with my clients. I believe you find happiness when you live in gratitude, joy, strength, and beauty. I want to help you look and feel your best. If this sounds like something you might like, reach out and book a session.

What I Offer
PILATES
Classical Pilates is an exercise method designed to strengthen the mind and body by working togeether, creating a strong core and lean muscles. Joseph Pilates studied the human body, stretching, and myriad exercise methods before creating ‘Contrology,’ or what we now know as Pilates. Classical Pilates training adheres to Joseph Pilates original intentions so that each unique exercise is taught with a dynamic rhythm.
GYROTONIC ®
GYROTONIC® method is a holistic approach to movement that has been helping people improve their bodies' alignment, posture, balance, and stability. The GYROTONIC® method provides customized sessions to meet the needs of people of all ages and abilities.
DANCE TRAINING
My first love. The most beautiful, pure, exhilarating art form I know. It teaches strength, coordination, posture, humility, and grace. Out of all the things I could recommend for fine tuning the body and engaging the mind, ballet would be top of my list. I offered privates at many different studios.
CHOREOGRAPHY
I offer classical and contemporary choreography for advanced students. My work has been performed by dance schools, YAGP students, and multiple professional companies. It was awarded 1st place at Chautauqua Institution, chosen to be performed while I was at Charlotte Ballet. Most recently I was selected to be choreograph at the Orange County Choreographic Collective.
