Hello! I am a fully certified STOTT PILATES® instructor and post-rehab specialist based in NYC. I cam to Pilates as a young pre-professional dancer. After my career in modern dance, I have since become a writer and writing teacher, but I still find it crucial to remain grounded in the body and help others to do so. You can currently find me teaching group classes and privates at Kinespirit Riverside Gyrotonic and Pilates. I am passionate about helping people discover how to live and move well in their bodies, and achieve their fitness goals.
I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Columbia and a BFA in dance from Alonzo King LINES Ballet/Dominican Univ. of CA and I have been teaching Pilates in Houston, the San Francisco Bay Area, Metro Detroit, and New York City since 2011. I have worked with a wide range of clients, including athletes and dancers, teenagers, senior citizens, clients sustaining chronic injuries and conditions, and those undergoing post-rehabilitation from surgeries.
I tailor each class and private session specifically to my clients’ needs. I incorporate sound biomechanics within all of the workouts that I teach to ensure the safest and most effective Pilates experience. I would love to meet and work with you in person if you live in the NYC, or online if you are anywhere else in the world!
