I have been a fitness and swim instructor for the past 11 years beginning with group aquatic exercise and private swim instruction. In the past 3 years, I have specialized more in various styles of yoga, pilates, and core strengthening, as well as training triathaletes in refining their strokes and in developing core strength and stability. I graduated with my MS in physical therapy at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse in December 2005, and I have been working at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago doing research as well as working with patients of all ages with neurologic and orthopaedic injuries. I also work part-time at Pilates Central teaching Pilates classes, privates, and pilates/yoga based physical therapy. I taught for fitbodies last spring in Montego Bay, and I would love to return to the Caribbean to teach some yoga on the beach, power walking, core training, aqua classes, and to have some fun in sun!
