+ Pilates
With over 18 years of experience teaching movement and more than a decade in Pilates, my approach is informed by movement testing used in elite sports to optimize biomechanics, movement efficiency, and force transfer. I work with professional athletes, including as the Pilates instructor for the Los Angeles Angels, as well as with professional dancers and individuals focused on long-term strength, mobility, and movement health.
Within high-performance environments, my role is to complement strength and conditioning, athletic training, and performance staff by addressing movement quality, mobility, dynamic stability, and kinetic-chain efficiency, while adapting programming to the evolving demands placed on athletes over the course of the year.

Specialized In
Pilates for Athletes
Pilates can complement an athlete's existing strength and conditioning program by addressing movement quality, mobility, dynamic stability, and force transfer through the kinetic chain.
Programming is informed by the biomechanical demands of the athlete's sport and individual movement profile, with particular attention to proximal control, distal efficiency, asymmetries, and the ability to maintain efficient movement under changing demands.
The goal is not to replace strength and conditioning, but to help the athlete access and organize the strength, mobility, and power they are already developing.
Pilates for Dancers
Pilates for Dancers supports the strength, mobility, control, and movement efficiency required for technical and artistic performance. Programming addresses the specific demands of each dancer and their discipline, with attention to dynamic stability, usable range of motion, movement asymmetries, and the ability to generate and transfer force efficiently. Sessions are designed to complement dance training while supporting performance, recovery, and long-term movement health.
Movement & Recovery
Pilates-based movement can support recovery by addressing mobility, movement quality, asymmetries, and compensatory strategies that develop through training, performance, injury, or repetitive loading.
Programming can complement the work of physical therapists, athletic trainers, and medical professionals when an individual is returning from injury, helping bridge clinical rehabilitation with the movement demands of everyday life or performance.
