“I wonder what it would feel like to be in love with my body.”

My Pilates journey began with this singular thought. After over a decade of struggling to have a positive relationship with my body, I decided enough was enough and I challenged myself to begin my Pilates journey and see if it was possible to feel good in my own skin.

In 2020 during the global pandemic, I turned to Pilates and began teaching myself through books and online videos. It wasn’t the routine or the desire to change the way I looked that held my interest, it was the dedicated time I set aside to spend time with my self and see what my body was capable of. I began practicing consistently and saw my body becoming more balanced, flexible and stronger. As my practice deepened, my self love and confidence finally took root. I had made a home within myself.

I decided to help others create find this sacred space within themselves. In 2022 I graduated from Humani Pilates Teacher Training program and have since completed over 300 hours teaching Mat and Reformer. I opened My Body Pilates virtual studio in May of 2023 and began working 1-on-1 with clients, designing classes tailored specifically to their abilities and goals. By November 2023, I became an instructor at South Slope Pilates in Asheville, NC and gained vital experience teaching group classes on Lagree machines. By 2025, I moved to Baltimore, MD and began teaching at the collegiate level at Johns Hopkins University, guiding students and faculty through Pilates Mat movement in a group fitness setting, offering both low impact and cardio classes on a weekly basis. I believe in continuing my Pilates education and am currently enrolled in Sarah Duvall’s Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Specialist Course and am on course to receive my certification in January 2026.

My training, coupled with a decade of experience working as an advocate for mental health & suicide prevention through public speaking, has fortified my ability to help you arrive in your body in a unique and meaningful way. We are not just moving to move, we are practicing Pilates to heal from the inside out.

“It's never too late to show up for yourself.”

This is my philosophy. Pilates is for every body because everyone holds within them the positive potential to Become. By engaging with your breath and moving your body intentionally and with thought, I can assist you in strengthening your mind/body connection and encouraging a genuine curiosity about what your body can do for you.

Love your body. Change your mind. Start making moves today.
