I am the Founder of ARC Pilates. I completed my Level 5 Advanced Classical Pilates Certification at the only accredited Pilates school in Canada, Embody School of Pilates in Canmore, Alberta. This comprehensive 850-hours certification of in-depth observation, practical and in-class study of all the Pilates Apparatus including Mat, Reformer, Chair, Cadillac/Tower and Ladder Barrel. I am also a Certified Pilates Teacher through the Pilates Method Alliance.
I had the privilege of attending the Pilates Made Simple and Advance Teaching Techniques workshops with Master Pilates Teacher, Benjamin Degenhardt. I have also continued my education by attending the Pilates Method Alliance Conference in 2017 and 2018. I am an Ambassador for Momentum Fest which takes place in June 2019 in Denver Colorado. I believe the learning has only begun! I have been featured in Pilates Style Magazine January/February 2019 for my community work.
I worked in private healthcare for 15 years and in 2016 decided to leave my corporate job of working in a spine clinic to pursue my passion for Pilates. This is where the journey to ARC Pilates began.
I have been fascinated by movement my whole life. I am active in many movement-filled activities and am passionate about being able to share my love of movement.
I am a busy mother to four children, and movement is a part of our everyday life. You can often find us at the hockey rink, swimming pool or outdoors.
I am a tenacious networker and life long learner. I am always looking for ways to create connection, collaboration and community within the Pilates industry and beyond.
As a teacher, I believe that everybody leaves our sessions feeling that they have shared in my passion for Pilates in a positive and inspiring way. I believe that with each Pilates session we can all strengthen, empower and love ourselves from the inside out.
