An educator at heart, I bring a rich background in teaching and performance to my passion as a Pilates Instructor. I began taking Pilates twenty years ago (between Ballet classes) and fell in love with the mind-body connections then noticed a vast improvement in my posture, alignment, strength, and flexibility!
I hold a Master of Science degree in Occupational Therapy and am a Licensed and Registered Occupational Therapist. I plan to create more services offering health and wellness for those in need across the lifespan. Woodway Wellness is a dream come true.
My Pilates sessions and classes allow my clientele to focus on their specific physical needs and goals. There is nothing that I love more than helping others succeed!
I provide my clients with an in-depth understanding of the movement associated with the human body whether they are looking for overall fitness and wellness or seeking relief from chronic pain. I focus on stability, mobility, flexibility, and balance all while getting a well-rounded workout.
I have been certified in STOTT Pilates for 10 years. I am also a Fascial Movement Instructor, a CORE Athletic Conditioning & Performance Training Instructor, and a Total Barre Instructor. I am happy to incorporate these fitness routines into sessions if my clients are interested.
I live in Edmonds with my wonderful husband and two young, active daughters.
​
I am the owner of Woodway Wellness and Bodyworks Edmonds in downtown Edmonds.

I am a fully certified STOTT PILATES® with a dancing, swimming and Equestrian background. I'm a local girl with a degree from the University of Washington. I'm a shining example of what Pilates can do!
After a disabling car accident, I tried many rehabilitative modalities and therapies, but it was not until I discovered STOTT Pilates that I truly started to make progress towards recovery. My personal experience with physical limitations, chronic pain and the rehabilitative process gives me a unique insight into the individual exercise needs and goals of each person.
My favorite part of teaching is sharing in the successes of my clients, from the casual beginner to the experienced athlete, as they discover the remarkable changes in the body that STOTT Pilates can bring about!

I have been teaching since 2008, specializing in working with clients who are coming out of physical therapy or working to avoid surgery; clients working with ongoing conditions such as scoliosis, degenerative discs, arthritis, osteoporosis, spondylolisthesis, frozen shoulder; and clients who are interested in improving their long term physical health and abilities, whether they are 18 or 81.
Mobility, balance, strength, awareness and fascial health are incorporated into every pilates session, tailored to each clients’ specific needs. I look forward to every session, assisting people with optimizing their physical lives.
