Elizabeth's Story

Elizabeth grew up with a dedication to gymnastics starting at an early age. The structure and hard work instilled in her carried with her creating a lifelong passion for fitness. As a teenager Elizabeth began weightlifting, spinning, yoga and kick boxing as a way to stay fit. A mother of twin girls and a son, she is constantly busy and found in Pilates a new way to strengthen her core, and a mind body connection to exercise she had never experienced before. The overall strength and tone she gained was life changing, and her desire to learn more ignited a desire to teach the method.

Elizabeth graduated with a B.A. in Communications from the University of Central Florida in 2002 and enjoyed a fruitful corporate career in the field after deciding to pursue her passion for Pilates full time. In 2012, she entered the NY Pilates Studio Teacher Certification Program through the United States Pilates Association ® LLC and The New York Pilates Studio ® receiving over 700 hours of training at The Pilates Loft, extensively training with Senior Teacher of Teachers Jennifer O'Mara, and at The Pilates Haus in New Jersey with Brett Howard, Senior Teacher of Teachers and Director of Education for Classical Pilates USA. She continues to be a lifelong learner in the Authentic Pilates method and shares her passion with her clients. In 2024 she was invited to be a Teacher Trainer for U.S. Pilates LLC and is thrilled on mentoring, teaching and passing along her knowledge to apprentices and instructors.
