I am a Pilates instructor certified through ITT Pilates of San Francisco. My first experience with Pilates was in 2003 as an alternative to knee surgery. Since then, Pilates has been my source of strength and support for all the other physical activities I enjoy, including running, cycling, swimming and dance. As a trainer, my technique focuses on alignment, proper mechanics, and mind-body awareness for results in strength, flexibility, posture, balance and a more capable body overall. I work with clients of all levels, and I am passionate about sharing with others the changes I’ve experienced in quality of life and overall physical performance as a result from Pilates. All sessions are tailored to each client’s specific needs and goals, whether they may be recovering from an injury, training for a specific activity/sport, or just looking to stay in shape and look and feel better. I believe that through proper form, alignment and training, the body is capable of achieving anything the mind is set to do, and I love helping my clients get there. I am passionate about life, movement, nature, fitness, wholesome foods, and wellness. Life is short, so I try to make the most of it, live every second of it, and inspire my clients to do the same.... See More

Pilates Studio in San Francisco's Hayes Valley specializing in rehabilitation, conditioning and pain management. Also providing continuing education for Pilates Instructors.

I am a PMA® Certified Pilates Teacher and I received my Pilates certification through the ITT Certified Pilates Instructor Training Program in San Francisco, CA.

The Integrated Teacher Training (ITT) Pilates program incorporates requirements that ensure an in depth education in anatomy as well as skills for working with, and maximizing, training for individuals with special physical considerations. The program was led by Jean Sullivan, owner and Director of A Body of Work Studios and co-founder of ITT Pilates. Jean has been a movement educator since 1998 and specializes in corrective exercise, postural assessment and program design. She devoted the majority of her teaching hours to these topics. This gave me a strong grounding in client assessment and the design of individual training programs, regardless of what physical condition each client presents. This also gave me the tools needed to work together with medical professionals, including physical therapists, in transitioning individuals from a medically supervised program to their own independent exercise program.
