My pilates  journey started 30 years ago in NYC at a classical pilates studio-I needed  strength and stamina to support hours a day of practicing viola to earn my performance degree from the Juilliard School. As a professional violist with a 21-year career in the Army Band, I have spent decades navigating the repetitive strain of performance and the unique challenges of hyper mobility. Pilates helped me come back from a debilitating neurological injury. For me, pilates became the essential tool for building the functional strength and symmetry required to sustain a high-level career and later to heal from injury.

Now a Balanced Body Comprehensive trainee, I  translate my deep understanding of "stabilizing the stretch" into my teaching. I specialize in helping clients find their own center—focusing on injury prevention and sustainable movement that protects the joints while building power.

My studio is located near Harrison Street and Langston Blvd in Arlington, Virginia. It is a 10 minute walk from the East Falls Church Metro stop.
