I’ve developed a great appreciation for the messages our body gives us. This belief has grown through my personal health experiences, and throughout my 7 years as a massage therapist as I support others in their own journey to wellness.

​My students describe my teaching style as dedicated, fun, and knowledgeable.

In 2003, I was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease that limited my movement and gave me severe weakness and fatigue. In the time I’ve spent working through the medical procedures, medications, and recovery, I’ve learned to listen deeply to my body.

Trying to rebuild my strength after this experience led to a lot of injuries. When it was suggested that I try Pilates, I noticed differences right away—not just in rebuilding my strength and reducing my pain, but I also found that I started liking my body and myself so much more.

In my free time, I enjoy walking my dog, singing, roller-blading, and talking with friends.

CREDENTIALS

  • Certified Pilates Instructor (in training)
  • Licensed Massage Therapist
Catherine really is outstanding and I love her classes—I feel so strong during and after, and I leave feeling balanced. She makes the workouts challenging, satisfying, ass-kicking, and fun while being respectful and intentional. She makes sure that individual needs or modifications are made quickly.

She’s got fantastic confidence, poise, understanding, delivery and presence, plus she’s so sweet, happy, upbeat, and welcoming. I just love how she creates an inclusive, positive space with her energy.

Catherine is such a gift to have such talent in our community and her classes are a bright spot in my week.

Catherine's teaching style is lively, fun, and focused. She's kind and knowledgeable and is always on her game and never 'phones it in'.

​A great hands-on and demo person, she's always willing and able to break down an exercise in a way I can understand it, execute it, and build on it. I'm so glad to have found her.
