About Us

My obsession and fascination with fitness began in high school, where I was a 3 sport athlete. At Medaille College I majored in Sports Management and I was determined to work in the fitness industry. My career began in 2002 at the Village Glen Tennis and Fitness Club where I worked in the fitness center and became a certified personal trainer. I loved everything about working in the gym, I knew I had found my calling. It was such a healthy working environment, surrounded with positivity, helping and encouraging people all day long. I was into bodybuilding for a period of time, and marathon running, both very extreme forms of training. In 2006 while in San Diego for a marathon I decided that I would move there. While living in San Diego I worked at and belonged to various different types of gyms. Naturally learning more and more about the business of fitness. When I returned to Buffalo in 2008 I took a job as a personal trainer in a Pilates & Fitness studio. That was my first introduction to Pilates and the small studio environment. I slowly began to practice and understand this complex system of exercise that was developed by one man, Joseph Pilates. Since then I have grown in my practice and as a teacher. In 2013 I traveled to Nosara, Costa Rica where I completed my Mat and Reformer Training at Pilates Nosara. I completed my Barrel and Trapeze Table training in Buffalo, NY and hold a Comprehensive Pilates Certification through Balanced Body University. I will always be a student of Pilates; I continue to learn and grow both as a student and teacher so I can take better care of both you and myself.

In September of 2022 I graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. After two decades of working with clients on improving their fitness, I am now very excited to be offering one-on-one health counseling services. I truly believe that when you have the right support and encouragement, you can make profound changes in your health that can improve the quality of the rest of your life. I am so honored to be a part of your health journey.

I want Pilates Art Studio to be your happy place. Your place for profound self-care, growth, and discovery. This studio represents who I am and what I’m all about. Health and wellness, culture and art, community and love. I love what I do and feel so fortunate to share my passion with you.
