Move beautifully. Train deeply. Live well.
Dear body, dear mover, dear friend I haven't met yet —
I've spent 18 years learning what a body needs. So Cal studios. Luxury gyms in New York. Five years leading a fitness program in Las Vegas. Now, Newport News, where I've come home to what I love most: working with bodies, one on one, in the studio.
Dance is where I started. Pilates and MELT are how I go deeper. This page is where it all lives.

18 years of professional performance training the body I now teach from.
Pilates + MELT Method
500-hour classical Pilates certification.
MELT Method
The most intelligent tools I know for the body you want to live in.
THE APPROACH
This isn't another
fitness program.
Most movement training teaches you what to do. Almost none of it teaches you why your body works the way it does.
After 40, that gap starts to show.
The stiffness that doesn't resolve. The disconnect between effort and ease. The feeling that your body is working against you instead of with you.
This is not decline. This is a body asking for intelligent input it was never given.
Pilates and MELT Method go there. Into the connective tissue. Into the nervous system. Into the deep patterns your body has been compensating around for years.
I spent 18 years performing at the highest level. I spent the last year becoming a mother at the edge of 40. Both taught me things about the body that no certification alone ever could.
That is what I bring to every woman I work with. Not more intensity. Not another program to push through.
The intelligent work your body has been waiting for.
Private Pilates + MELT Sessions
One-on-one sessions built entirely around your body, your history, and what you actually want to feel. Reformer, mat, and MELT Method. Available in the Hampton Roads area.
Group Classes
Intentional, restorative movement in a supportive setting. Pilates principles with MELT recovery work. For women who want to move well together. Coming soon.
The Practice
Not a fitness program. Not a course about aging gracefully. An intelligent, elegant framework for women who want to move well, feel strong, and live fully in their body for the next 40 years.
