Bio coming soon.

​Cassandra is the founder and CEO of Leadership Alchemy. She brings over 25 years of experience building leadership capacity in the social sector, and has worked with over 200 organizations. She assists teams identify and reach their shared goals by maximizing the diverse learning styles and strengths within the team. She uses a variety of coaching and facilitation methods in her practice including clean language, graphic facilitation, and tools from Conversational Intelligence for Coaches, and Appreciative Living Coaching.
Mirela is challenging, engaging, and professional. She knows how to create progressively more challenging sessions. There's nothing more exciting than not being able to do a particular movement, and then one day, it's there!

Mirela is really knowledgeable about the body. Her cuing and modeling are exceptional—a great help when trying something new. 

I love that she's genuinely concerned about our class and how we continue to get stronger.

— CHRISTIANE HENNING, CENTERLINE STUDENT
Mirela’s the best! She’s knowledgeable, motivating, and kind. I so appreciate that she strives to have a clear understanding of each of her clients' bodies.

​Mirela pushes me when I need it and I am grateful for that. It is so obvious that she truly and genuinely cares on many levels.

— CHARLENE DEC, CENTERLINE STUDENT
After working with Mirela for a year, I can attest I got all that I was looking for—and more. Not only am I feeling stronger and more balanced on both legs—I had nerve damage in one leg—I also recover more quickly after other activities. Most of all, I feel centered and fluid as I maneuver this year’s share of health issues and life stressors.

Mirela's not only very passionate and knowledgeable about Pilates and Gyrotonic®, she has great presence and listening skills to customize the session for you.

She was trained as a dancer/performer, but there's no pretense in that woman; she's real and authentic. I needed someone to connect with and feel safe with as I was exploring challenging movements and to laugh with wholeheartedly.

I look forward to our weekly workout like I never had with any other practice. I found my trainer, a new friend, and I treasure her.

— INGRID BREGAND, CENTERLINE STUDENT
Mirela is a fantastic teacher. Dedicated, thoughtful, compassionate, she’s interested in the whole person.

She brings humor and her unique perspective as a dancer--constantly challenging us and changing our workouts so that we’re never bored. 

On more than one occasion, she’s contacted me after a class to get a read on how I am feeling, or how my body responded to certain things that we did in class.

— CONNIE BELL, CENTERLINE STUDENT
My daughter started working with Mirela at Centerline primarily to increase her flexibility for ballet. Mirela's taken the time to really get to know my daughter and to listen to what she wants to accomplish and has tailored a program for her. 

Mirela is fantastic—uplifting, knowledgeable, and loving. She’s an extremely positive presence and gives her all. She is a blessing in our lives.

She's given us a lot of advice based on her experience as a dancer. Best of all, she came to see my daughter perform, which was the sweetest way she could support my daughter.

I have a massage client who sees Mirela for Gyrotonic, and her progress over the last 2 years has been nothing short of life-changing. Mirela is able to consistently evaluate, modify and challenge.
