At 18 I was offered the chance to work with
people who suffered from arthritis. I was
instantly attracted to learning about the
human body and how physical training can change
a person's outlook and quality of life. I
continued to teach every kind of aerobics I
could. I added Mat Pilates in 2000 and decided
to dive right in, after this I realized how
wonderfully complicated teaching Pilates really
was. I spent many hours getting certified
through Pilates of Boulder (Colorado) where I
was introduced to Ron Flecther concepts through
Ricard Rossiter.
I started working at Center Strength Pilates in
Denver, CO in 2005. I was lucky enough to be
trained by Jennifer Reichand Physical Mind
Institute. I moved back to Portland this last
year and started NW Pilates! It's been an
awesome challenge with the most amazing clients.
