Sarah is one of the finest Pilates teachers I have ever had the pleasure to have worked with. I have had back surgery and I am trying to return to life as an active/sports person. Sarah has helped me tremendously. She has a incredible knowledge of "classical" Pilates i.e., Joeseph Pilates, but stays current on all forms of rehab and exercise.

Sarah is an amazing teacher, trainer & mentor!! Sarah's deep knowledge & experience with Pilates is something you highly value and thrilled to have access to. In addition to her great technical skills, Sarah is inspiring, fun, supportive, a 5+ (Super) Star sponsor, teacher, mentor :D I'm so lucky that our paths crossed!!

Can't say enough great things about Sarah!
Most recently, she really helped me with a knee injury.
Tried a few things for a couple months and just did not have
any improvements until my first appointment with Sarah. She is so
thorough and helped to stretch and strengthen my knee. After just
under a month it is completely better.
In the past, I have seen her for group and individual pilates sessions. Sarah really knows her stuff and can help you look and feel your best ever!
Thanks so much for your awesome work, Sarah!

I have taken classes w/other Pilates instructors, what a disappointment. We just went through the exercises, seemed more about repetition than actually doing them correctly. Sarah demos & explains what exercise targets what areas & the benefits of doing them. She makes sure you're thinking about all the different aspects you need to pay attention to as you do the exercise. With her, it's all about doing it correctly, being in control & concentrating on the muscles you're working on. You really begin to understand your body so much better with her. She also helps you individually with your personal issues or ailments. She accurately prescribes the right movements for pains or injuries you've sustained. Not a better instructor around!!!

If you are looking for someone who understands anatomy, who has outstanding knowledge in different areas of fitness, and who can give you an amazing, fun workout, look no further! I'm thoroughly impressed with Sarah as a Pilates Instructor. She is personable, detail oriented, and her experience is reflected in everything she does. Take a class with her and you'll know what I mean! A+
