I am a professional dancer, fitness instructor, and Pilates Teacher. After spending 10 years in New York City working with the best trainers, performing and teaching Pilates and Fitness I have moved back to my home town to share my passion and guide clients to their unleash their potential! I began my movement journey at a very young age and have been studying mind, body connection and wellness ever since. I received my BFA in Dance Performance and Choreography where I trained extensively in many dance forms such as Contemporary, Jazz, Modern, and Ballet as well as Kinesiology, Anatomy, and Body Mechanics. I received my 450 hour Pilates Certification at Gramercy Pilates NYC under the direction of Kim Fielding. My dance background in addition to my Pilates and Yoga training sets the foundation for my sessions with my clients. I realized quickly that cross training was the only way to improve the strength of my movement and the longevity of my career as a performer in NYC. I also realized that by making fitness fun I could motivate others to move and improve their quality of life through fitness. This is when I found my love for Pilates, cardio, strength training and teaching. My background as a teacher in dance and fitness includes Body by Simone, BeFitNYC, Equinox Senior Pilates Instructor, MA Dance TX, Bridge for Dance NYC and various Schools in Queens NYC.

I currently teach Private sessions at Body Defined in Sylvania, OH and group classes at Club Pilates in Perrysburg, OH. I enjoy watching each client grow in strength, confidence and flexibility. This community has shown me what we can do for one another by holding ourselves accountable and uplifting one another with positivity and encouragement.

My method combines my movement background and body awareness to guide my clients with compassion and ease to find their strength. With this they are less prone to muscular imbalances and injuries. Most importantly, clients learn to listen to their own bodies as they move with me and leave each session energized ready for their day. I love what I do and I’m always excited to share my knowledge and training with my clients!
