Being a part of The Connective community allows me the opportunity to reach people who face any number of socio-economic obstacles found in the mainstream wellness industry. Teaching here has introduced me to so many capable, talented individuals, who are not afraid to challenge the status quo.

Dancing since age six, my movement study began with classical ballet training. Through dance, I discovered Pilates and have been teaching classes and privates for the past 10 years. I enjoy drawing from varied movement modalities, my classes add another unique element of expression and playfulness–I never teach the same class twice.

I believe that physical health and mental health are inextricably linked. A workout may feel difficult in the moment (feel free to curse me out in your head), but afterwards we’ll have a good laugh and notice that the physical and mental benefits were well worth the effort.
