My bio is rather simple, 15 years ago I began treatment with a chiropractor in NJ, the results were amazing. I had suffered with pain most of my 27yrs of life and finally found something that helped relieve the pain. After about 4 months of treatment I became the Dr.'s office manager and started studying the human anatomy and physical structure with passion. I then began receiving massage therapy and understood how the muscles held the bones in place, or not.  A few years later I stumbled into a Pilates day long workshop and the lightbulb went off, that was 10 yrs ago. I have been teaching Pilates since.  I took a quikie certification just so I could teach while I was learning from a PhysicalMind instructor and 2 years later received my mat certification from PhysicalMind Institute. I moved to Florida in 2004 and became a certifed personal trainer through NASM, and was training in a local facility. In 2007 I went through the 3 month training to become equipment certified and opened my Pilates studio in 2008.  I have let my NASM personal trainer cert lapse, but keep my Pilates education current.
