I have been studying Pilates since 1988. I began apprenticing with Julian Littleford in Del Mar, CA in 1995, then taught at his studio, JL Body Conditioning. I then moved to New York and taught under the direction of Fran Lehen and Groundfloor Exercise from 1997-98. I studied and then pursued my Pilates Certification with Michelle Larrson and Core Dymanics in 2000. I have taught both group mat classes and individual lessons on the Pilates appartatus in various fitness clubs in Pittsburgh, then opened my own home studio business in 2000. 

I have recently embarked upon a journey to attain my MFA in dance and somatics at The University of Colorado Boulder, where I am learning additional somatic practices such as Alexander technique and Body- Mind Centering to inform both my teaching and practice.
