After attending many years of group exercise classes in Aqua, Yoga, as well as dance and scupting I decided to become a teacher.  I was certified by AEA at the end of '99 and I started teaching 4 water fitness classes a week at 4 different Sport and Health Clubs in Northern Virginia. I was able to build a following at these clubs. I had started to take a lot of pilates and fell in love with the discipline and how it made my body look and feel.  I was certified with Powerhouse Pilates in Mat and Reformer 1 and 2.  I determined I wanted to get even more comprehensive knowledge and so have been pursuing a continuing education with Stott Pilates.  I have completed numerous workshops (if required I can list them for you) as well as their IM through Level 3, IR through Level 3 and Cadillac through Level 3.  I also have completed training in the exo chair and the tower for Balanced Body. I have been certified in MELT for hand and foot and the roller. I am also certified in MAT Jumpstart. I utilize all of these skills in my home studio where I teach group and private training on Allegro Reformers with Towers, STOTT pilates chair and TRX equipment.

My other job is a professional actor, which helps me be a better instructor.  I know how to present information effectively and in an entertaining way.  My clients enjoy my classes while expanding their body awareness and body of knowledge.
