FROM THE START
I began my movement training as a dancer at an early age and have taught dance and creative movement for over nine years. I moved to New York City from Ohio to study musical theatre performance at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy and have performed in Off-Broadway and Regional theatre. When I stopped dancing full time, I turned to Pilates and received my certification through the Kane School of Core Integration. In addition to teaching Pilates, I am a director at Random Farms Kid’s Theatre where some of my students may also be seen on Broadway.
Before creating Self Centered Pilates, LLC, I was a licensed real estate agent with Sotheby's International Realty, partnering with the top broker in the Manhattan office.
Two years ago, I married Peter and we live in Manhattan with our dogs Briko and Jolie. Peter is an amateur bicycle racer and we all enjoy long hikes, mountain biking, and doing Pilates together. Peter and I are active members of our church. We enjoy giving back to the community as much as we can through various charities and volunteering. Our lives center around being active and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
