My goals: To inspire people to find joy in painfree movement
To guide people to age powerfully and gracefully
To empower people to reach beyond what they thought was possible.
With 2 kids and a thriving Pilates practice, I keep my body and mind intact by daily practice of Pilates. As a licensed physical therapist and former professional dancer with the Martha Graham Dance Company, I continue to nurture my love of movement by taking flamenco, Bikram Yoga and modern dance technique classes. As an "American Bone Health" representative, I offer free workshops in my community to increase awareness of bone health. My DVD "BoneSmart Pilates: Exercise to Prevent or Reverse Osteoporosis" has met with critical acclaim and was voted best DVD of 2013 by Pilates Style Magazine. I teach Bone Safe Pilates classes at Stanford University's Health Improvement Program, where I've been teaching and lecturing since 1998.
