I grew up in Missoula and graduated from the University of MT with a BFA in Dance with a teaching emphasis and choreography/performance emphasis. Upon graduating I moved to Chicago to explore the professional dance world. Suffering a knee injury and surgery lead me to Pilates for strengthening and rehab. I fell in love with Pilates movement system and completed my first certification in Chicago in 2002 through the Physicalmind Institute. In 2004 I opened Main Street Pilates studio and in 2007 I completed my second Pilates Certification through Peak Pilates. I love that Pilates can be taught anyone at any age and any ability. Through teaching and practicing Pilates I have experienced the power that it can have on a persons overall well being both physically and mentally. That is what motivates me to teach this method of movement. In the Fall of 2012 I completed my Booty Barre certification which combines elements of Dance, Pilates and Yoga. In the Fall of 2017 I completed a year long teaching intensive training by special invitation with Chris Robinson at S6 Fitness in San Diego, CA.
