STOTT CERTIFIED PILATES INSTRUCTOR - CERTIFIED FUNCTIONAL DIAGNOSTIC NUTRITION PRACTITIONER

I am Stott certified trainer in mat, reformer, and stability chair pilates. I am also trained to work with those who suffer from injuries as well as pregnant and aging populations. Years ago I suffered from a herniated disk. I was overweight, over-tired, and definitely over the gym. Pilates ended up being a great option when my insurance covered rebab ran out. Something about the exercises gave me more energy and control of my movement than any other program I had tried in the past. Not that I was ever much of a group fitness type, but I loved the private attention and accountability of the reformer classes. I regained function of my back and lost the weight I had gained after the kids were born.

My goal is to help people move more naturally so they can avoid injury and chronic pain. Our modern lives don't allow us the inputs our metabolism would like. Pilates is a great way to bridge that gap and either overcome injury or avoid it all together.

Weight loss is often my clients #1 goal. Since becoming a pilates instructor I have been overwhelmed by the need to further help my clients get the body (and health) they desire. It is almost impossible to lose weight if you have inflammation or other health stressors.  I've said that 80% of your weight is about what is on your plate. That's not true. Diet, rest, exercise and stress all play a roll in our very individual metabolic issues. For true health, a whole body approach is needed. I am very proud to be a Certified FDN Practitioner.
