Moving well to me means having space in my body and feeling grounded to the earth. |
I was inspired to participate in the Pilates teacher training program here at Centerline because Pilates has helped me to feel stronger and more balanced, and it's created a deeper connection to my body and how movement can make such a difference.
Pilates teacher training felt like a natural next step in my work as a massage therapist. For 14 years, I've been working with my massage clients in a way that I often describe as having a conversation with the body—receptively. In Pilates, the body becomes more actively and dynamically involved in the conversation. It's important to me to bring a sense of fun to my classes as well as to always extend an invitation to make Pilates your own. I aspire to be the kind of teacher that empowers. I'm enthusiastic to teach and benefit from working with different bodies with different needs. I have the adaptability to meet you where you are and take you further. Students describe my style as warm, intuitive, playful, and enthusiastic.

I went through a yoga teacher training program in 2006. Yoga introduced me to the power of movement in all planes of motion. I learned that self-care is so vital. The mind-body connection is magic and powerful. I found tools for being more present. And I found a lifelong passion for assisting others on their path to wellness.
I was born in Tucson and plan to stay. I feel grounded here and can't imagine living anywhere else. I'm a mom to two amazing boys who inspire me to be my best self. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, being outside, painting, practicing Muay Thai kickboxing in Rudy Avalos' class here at Centerline. I deeply enjoy discovering new ways to evolve and expand my knowledge of self and deepening my own spiritual connections.
