Welcome to my profile! I'm so happy you're here. Are you an active adult who loves playing sports and working out? Have you hit a point where the aches, pains, and body stiffness are preventing you from moving, playing, or completing at the level you'd like to play? Maybe you just want to live your daily life and do your daily activities and feel better in your body?I’m a 15 year Advanced Certified Pilates instructor teaching online Pilates classes to help you build strength, flexibility, and balance in your body. When you re-pattern the body you can help alleviate stress, tension in muscles, compression in the spine, and pain from overworked joints. I work with active adults who want to get back to all those actities they love to do after all those years of overusing muscles. I'll help you connect to: •Deeper core strength and flexibility•Awareness to body imbalances•More efficient movement patterns•Better alignmentWhich also means less body stiffness, pain, and frustration from not being able to move the way you want to move.•Like getting down on the floor with your kids.•Playing a round of golf or skating at the local rink with your buddies or besties.•Hiking for a few hours on a weekend.•Shoveling 12 inches of snow off your walkway (well, that may NOT be something you WANT to do!)Pilates has a learning curve.  It's takes patience and consistency to really master it in your body.  But, you can do it.  You can be the boss of your body.On a daily basis, we sit at computers, drive in cars, bend from our backs, reach from our rotator cuffs, walk from our ankles and knees. When these poor movement patterns happen over a long period of time, it's a perfect recipe for injury. Let's learn how to engage the whole body uniformly so all the muscles work TOGETHER instead of each taking the brunt individually.Are you ready to dive in?You'll find lots of ways to work with me at balancedtothecore.com or feel free to email me at info@balancedtothecore.com if you're interested in jumping on a free 15-minute strategy call.
