Beyond Pilates, I enjoy exploring the worlds of art, travel, and scuba diving, which inspire and rejuvenate me.
Teaching Philosophy:
At the core of my teaching philosophy is a commitment to personalized instruction. I believe that each student has unique needs and goals, and I tailor my approach accordingly. By blending the principles of Pilates with mindfulness, deep stretching, and personal empowerment, I create a well-rounded practice that challenges the body and nourishes the mind.

By combining my expertise with a passion for well-being, I strive to empower each of my students to achieve their fitness and wellness goals.
Teaching Methods:
My teaching methods focus on instilling proper postural alignment and form as the foundation of each Pilates exercise. I believe in the synergistic relationship between the mind, spirit, and body, and I guide my students to develop a deeper connection with their physicality. Through my classes, students gain a better understanding of their own bodies and the opportunity to heal, strengthen, and transform themselves.
