Movement Offerings
I believe that strength training is essential to improving one’s quality of life.
By challenging the body with various forms of resistance
we increase muscle mass and bone density,
improve our mental health and cognitive functioning,
and boost confidence.
Mat Pilates
Pilates is a form of low-impact strength training that focuses on recruiting core muscles (abdominals, glutes, and pelvic floor) for building strength in stability, and utilizes breath as a supportive tool for exercise.
I approach Pilates as a practice in listening to the body and “being where you are” in order to build strength in a sustainable way — by developing body awareness and intuition.
Personal Training
Strength Training is an essential component of health.
I offer private strength training sessions that work to build a mind-muscle connection.
We’ll also work on progressively overloading the body, using various forms of resistance and functional exercises that are specific to your lifestyle.
I create exercise programs that translate into your daily life, so that you can move through life feeling stronger and more confident.
Pre- & Postnatal
I support prenatal and postpartum women at any point in their journey through mat pilates and/or personal training. Building strength and the body awareness to meet the demands of pregnancy and motherhood is essential for physical, mental, and emotional health.
Our sessions will focus on breathing exercises for pelvic health, functional exercises for pregnancy and motherhood, and methods for integrating exercise into your daily life.
Benefits of Pre- and Postnatal exercise:
Improved strength and endurance, physiological well-being, and sleep
Preparation for the demands of labor, and decreased postpartum recovery time
Decrease in aches, pains, and physical discomfort
Decreased risk of
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Gestational Diabetes
Hypertension
Pre-term birth
C-section

I intend to offer Pilates and Personal Training sessions that are as accessible and affordable as possible, especially with all of the twists and turns that life throws at us! I know that cost and time constraints are often the largest obstacles to exercise.
Please reach out if this is the case - I offer sliding-scale options and I’m happy to work with you!
Location
I’m based in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, PA, and currently offer sessions in clients’ homes.
(Virtual sessions are also an option!)
While teaching in Brooklyn, NY, I worked in a boutique personal training gym and also offered
in-home sessions for a few clients. I loved this set up because it allowed me to traverse the city (I loved biking around), and also made it more accessible for my clients!
It also works well because you don’t need a ton of space, an in-home gym, or really any special equipment. All you need is enough space for a yoga mat, and I bring the rest (resistance bands, blocks, weights, etc)!
Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns!
