My Full Story 

I first tried Pilates in college. I loved how it helped me feel more at ease in my body, lighter, more aligned, less held together by tension. But access and cost made it hard to continue.

It wasn't until my late twenties that I discovered I had functional scoliosis. By then, the physical demands of my work as an occupational therapist had already taken a toll. I was living with chronic muscle spasms and pain that disrupted my sleep, limited my movement, and made it hard to feel at home in my own body. When I found my way back to Pilates, the changes were real. Better alignment, more strength, and a kind of ease in everyday movement I hadn't felt in years. The spasms quieted. I started sleeping again. I moved more freely.

I wanted that for other people. Not after something goes wrong, but before.

My 17+ years as a licensed occupational therapist shaped how I observe movement, adapt instruction, and think about long-term function. That experience led me to complete my Peak Pilates Comprehensive Level I certification, covering Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Spine Corrector, and Semi Barrel, and to create In Pursuit of Pilates.

I was born and raised in Inwood. It's home, and I'm proud to build my practice here. I primarily serve clients in **Inwood** and **Washington Heights**. Travel throughout **Manhattan** is available by request; travel fees may apply outside the core service area. Virtual sessions are also available.

Movement is cumulative. What you practice today influences how you move over time. That perspective guides how I teach: with precision, progression, and respect for the person in front of me.
