I consider myself a mentor, educator, and a forever student and life athlete. I ran track and cross country starting at 14 and became a sponsored professional windsurfer at 19. I grew up as an International model and actress starting at 15 with NYC and LA as my home base. It was an exciting time but my heart was in mind, body, and coaching practices. I began in the healing arts as an Ashtanga yoga practitioner and certified yoga instructor. Additionally, I became a celebrity massage therapist and later became a certified Pilates instructor, personal trainer, and corrective exercise specialist. I was led to pilates after my own repetitive use injuries from Ashtanga yoga combined with surfing that tore my shoulder labrum. Pilates helped my rehab and I was able to avoid surgery all together. I opened my pilates studio “Agility Studio” in 2004 and was awarded “Best studio design” from the prestigious Balanced Body. I have documented many of my own signature exercises in my pilates teacher training courses and manuals that I used as inspiration in the Pilates Strap™ System. After becoming a mom in 2007, I became dedicated to pre and postnatal exercise for my clients which included becoming trained as a doula labor coach. In 2010, I began racing sprint triathlons including podium finishes and wins. Currently my love of cycling keeps me busy in my spare time on the road, gravel, and in the mountains. Other passions include skiing, snowboarding, cooking, live music, hiking, child advocacy, and child abuse prevention.
