  • “Lisa’s knowledge in the mechanics of the body and how it moves is immediately apparent, but her ability to deftly gauge my strength and flexibility and tailor the session to my unique needs was where her expertise was most obvious. As a first-timer, I was nervous about trying Pilates, but her clear direction put me at ease and left me excited to continue under her coaching again soon.”

  • “Lisa is truly gifted at what she does. Her passion for Pilates shines through in every session. She has an incredible eye for detail, gently tweaking form that makes a real difference. Her cues are clear and intuitive and she explains movements in a way that just clicks. I always leave her class feeling stronger, aligned and energized.”

As a former dancer, I love her reformer class. Her attention to the importance of technique and safe, healthy movement is top notch. Lisa’s passion for this practice creates a beautiful, peaceful environment to deepen your love and dedication to the practice of Pilates.”

  • "Lisa is an exceptional instructor who has helped me focus on building core strength. She has been thoughtful to tailor each session to my individual abilities and goals. I’ve been surprised by how challenging and targeted some of the exercises can be—and how quickly I could feel them making a difference. She’s got a real gift for teaching, and I appreciate her attentive way of encouraging better posture and pushing me to achieve more than I can on my own."
