Bio

As the only Balanced Body Pilates Educator in New Zealand, I am proud to provide movement instructors with an comprehensive learning experience in the Pilates method. Born and raised in Southern California, I am a movement lover, health coach and lifelong learner. I began my Pilates study under the mentorship of my modern dance teacher, Michele Miller while earning my BFA in Dance from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, WA. In 2008, I moved to New York where I obtained my comprehensive Pilates certification from the Kane School of Core Integration. I spent 7 years studying movement science and craniosacral therapy, co-directing a dance company, and teaching Pilates to a diverse range of clients from 14 to 90. I consulted on the Pilates program at Amanyara resort in Turks and Caicos, wrote continuing education programs, traveled globally teaching Pilates, and established a remote Pilates business in New York. In 2016, I became a Balanced Body Master Instructor to certify new Pilates instructors worldwide. In 2017, I moved to New Zealand and completed my yoga teacher training and health coaching certificate. I currently reside North Canterbury, running an online Pilates and wellness studio and traveling around New Zealand to lead Balanced Body teacher trainings.
