Our Teachers

Owner/Professional Dancer/Adjunct Dance Professor/ Certified Pilates Instructor /Movement Specialist

My movement journey began at an early age and has evolved into over three decades of sustained as a professional dancer, educator, and movement specialist. I hold both a BA and MFA in Dance, and my work is deeply informed by an ongoing commitment to movement, somatic education,  and embodied research. Alongside my dance career, I have dedicated myself to the Pilates Method, earning advanced Pilates certification as well as additional certifications and licensure through the Fletcher Method, Balanced Body, and extensive studies in biomechanics.

I am driven by the transformative potential of movement as both an artistic and pedagogical practice. This led me to found Studio Kinetics, a space where Pilates, dance, and complementary movement modalities intersect. My work centers on cultivating kinesthetic awareness, refining motor intelligence, and supporting functional alignment through individualized, research-informed programming. I emphasize correct form and efficient movement patterns to optimize physical performance, longevity, and injury prevention across diverse bodies and abilities.

My tailored Pilates programs—offered in private and small-group settings—support clients navigating post-surgical rehabilitation and neurological or structural conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, scoliosis, and other movement-related challenges. This work is grounded in somatic Pilates even dance movement principles that prioritize sensation, adaptability, and embodied learning as essential tools for healing and sustainable movement practice.
