Hi All,
I'm passionate about Pilates as a form of fitness & movement that stretches, strengthens and balances the whole body. I am dedicated to providing first rate Pilates instruction in the greater Jacksonville area. As a lifelong fitness enthusiast, I suffered a serious injury from a car accident and on my path to rehabilitation I discovered Pilates. After experiencing firsthand the powerful effects the exercises had on my body and mind I've aspired to share this form of fitness and rehabilitation.
I work with a wide variety of clients including athletes, people struggling with physical ailments, such as, low back pain and other chronic conditions, as well as those dealing with specific and general areas of tightness in the body. Because of my personal experience and knowledge, I believe I excel at helping people manage pain, build strength and rediscover body movement that once seemed impossible.
I'm also a military veteran serving over 8 years in the Air Force. I was a graphic arts specialist and because of my passion for fitness accepted a special duty assignment as Fitness Director of Falcon AFB, CO for 14 months. I was responsible for the Ergonomics Testing Program that was used to determine if military personnel were at wartime ready fitness levels. I also have a BFA in Interior Design.
