She loves her Monday evenings with the Active+Healthy Pilates crew!

"We laugh, sweat & have a great time- which is what it’s all about for me. Coming together to feel good, in a way that is good for every BODY. I love to share options and empower each person to really make their time on their mat- for them. Something about that, and seeing everyone in the room smiling and having a good time- is really inspiring to me"
