My Lineage
I was first introduced to Pilates while studying dance at Florida State University. My professor Tom Welsh taught us a “Conditioning” class based on the Pilates Method and he was the first person to get me on a Reformer when I needed help treating bilateral calf strains. I owe a big thank you to Tom for planting the seed!
With whom you’ve study is just as imperative to life-long learning as what you’ve studied. Kelly Kane, Madeline Black, Kuan Hui Chew and Jennifer Milner have had a tremendous impact on my career—not just with what I teach, but how I teach it.
Visit my Resources page to learn more about these amazing women, as the special things I do that set my classes apart from the typical Pilates class can be traced back to their individual influences.
