MY TEACHING STYLE

As a fitness professional I use the Pilates method, strengthening exercises, stretches, and ELDOA to advocate for health, wellness, and optimal fitness. I work in many locations in the best city on earth, New York, New York! My clients include athletes, individuals who are tight, people dealing with injuries, pain or limitations, and anyone who is looking to improve their body and/or quality of life. I formulate a plan to achieve the goals of each individual physically, mentally, and emotionally, for long lasting results. My aim is to make Pilates, fitness and ELDOA an integral part of a healthy lifestyle. My coaching, teaching and guidance will support your overall wellbeing and help you to find the most dynamic and functional everyday athlete within yourself.

MY LOVES

My love for fitness is in my blood. My mother, aunt and grandmother were all professional figure skaters, coaches and judges. Physical fitness and sports have been a major influence on my life as I grew up being involved in figure skating, dance as well as softball and golf.  In college I pursued my passion for dance at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, which is where I was introduced to the Pilates method. I love to bike and hike in New York and beyond. And I am often seen walking all over town with my best girl Reggie, a frisky fur baby rescue pup from Puerto Rico <3

PILATES TRAINING

I completed my Pilates training at Romana's Pilates and began teaching in 2009.  I have continued my studies under the tutelage of Kathi Ross-Nash of American Body Tech and completed her Pilates Professional Advanced Teacher Training (PPATT) in 2018.  In addition to those primary influential trainings I have since completed the Pilates Program with Equinox's Pilates Training Institute and was once a Teacher Trainer for their program.

ELDOA TRAINING

I have completed trainings for ELDOA 1, 2, and 3 starting in 2017. I am due test and complete the ELDOA 4 training to become and ELDOA Trainer in October 2021. I continue my own daily practice and closely study weekly under the tutelage with Ilaria Cavagna.
