Retired Professional Ballet Dancer, Certified Pilates Instructor, Personal Trainer, Neurokinetic Therapist, PAI Certifying Instructor and Business Owner. Certifications include Stott Pilates, Pilates Method Alliance, Pilates Academy International, American Council on Exercise Certified Personal Trainer, and Level Two Neurokinetic Therapy. For the past 18 years I have owned and managed Pilates on Hudson. I specialize in orthopedic post-rehabilitation and chronic pain issues that aren't responding to traditional treatment. My first experience with Pilates was at the Center for Dance Medicine at St. Francis Hospital in San Francisco, allegedly the first medically based pilates program in the country. The benefits of this type of exercise when applied to a rehabilitative conditioning program were astounding, and I aim to emulate that in my work today.
