My Journey

I had always been physically active, and considered myself strong and fit. After years of long distance running, and at that time a mother of 2 young boys under 3, I was looking for a new challenge.

Within 10 minutes of being in the studio I knew Pilates was for me... 

I was lucky that my first introduction to Pilates was with Carmen Lanteigne at Aligned Pilates in Edmonton AB. Carmen is an extremely talented Instructor who is passionate about the Classical Method. I studied with Carmen for 4 years (and still do today), during this time enjoyed another pregnancy and the increased energy levels of my two boys. By training with Pilates through all of this I felt great.

This is when I decided that I wanted to learn as much as I could about Pilates and that I wanted to share it with others...

I graduated in 2014 from the  400-Hour Teacher Training Program with Master Teacher-Trainer Noam Gagnon at Beyond Pilates in Vancouver BC. I attend Authentic Pilates conferences, workshops, and observe my mentors whenever I have the opportunity. 

It is my belief that the Classical Pilates Method, taught as Joseph Pilates intended, has the ability to awaken the body and mind. We are then able to carry what we learn in the studio into our everyday lives to move more efficiently and without injury.
