I am a STOTT Pilates Certified Instructor with ten years of consistent teaching experience. I am STOTT trained to teach the Pilates Reformer, and have extensive knowledge of functional anatomy. Currently, I teach two group fitness classes per week at Center of Gravity Yoga and Pilates Studio in Lexington, Virginia. I also teach private one-on-one sessions several times per week on the Pilates reformer. I am deeply passionate about movement, fitness, music and helping clients look and feel their best, which is why I love teaching Pilates! I also have a serious case of wanderlust, so I am eager to teach at a vacation resort affiliated with Fitness Pro Travel one of these days! 

When I'm not teaching fitness, I am a writer and reporter. I have published two books. My articles and reporting has appeared everywhere from The Wall Street Journal and National Public Radio to Real Simple and Glamour Magazines. I am currently in the process of launching a quarterly lifestyle magazine aimed at promoting the central Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. 

I have been married 11 years and am a proud mama to two wonderful daughters, ages 7 and 4.
