At the end of 2023 I traded in my corporate jersey for an opportunity to become an entrepreneur and business owner. Over the past year I have built a successful Pilates studio and business from the ground up , selecting the commercial real estate, project managing the build out , construction and installation of the studio equipment and building the studio membership organically from zero to the several hundred members we have today. I personally selected each member of our team and they are each a joy to work with. We have seen our best ideas be recognized, have defined our culture based on a set of fundamental principles we believe in and have witnessed the results of our hard work and sweat equity. We are proud to be a part of the Ancaster Community. While it hasn't always been easy, it has always been rewarding and I have never felt more liberated and energized.
