I am a Balanced Body Advanced Movement Practitioner (2026) and completed my Comprehensive Pilates Instructor Certificate from Balanced Body Education in 2018. I apprenticed with Carrie-Ann Belanger at VEZA Pilates. My experience in both Classical and Contemporary Pilates has been a huge contribution to my practice. I follow current science and research related to the human body in movement. Each client is a unique embodiment of the human experience and we play in a holistic and grounded curiosity through movement.

I have been immersed in the practice and study of Pilates for over two decades. I founded Starlight Pilates as a way to share this knowledge and facilitate the growth of true therapeutic movement. I am also the acting Pilates Director at grit + tonic, and dedicated to cultivating a vibrant, inclusive Pilates community. My experience spans a wide range of client needs, including scoliosis, sports conditioning, pre- & post-natal, osteoporosis, pelvic health, sciatica, low-back pain and injury recovery. I am thoughtful, intuitive, and grounded in compassion. I love what I do and the creativity it inspires. Working with people in motion is my absolute passion.

A Pacific Grove native, I live in Monterey with my husband, Paul, and our daughter, Emma. When I’m not in the studio, I’m studying movement, hiking, dancing and eating tacos with my sweet family and friends.
