I’m someone who was dragged to my first Pilates class by my mom. I wasn’t very interested at first, but I left that class with shaky legs, a sweaty glow, and a curiosity about what had just happened to my body.
Around that time, I had just started my Massage Therapy training. I was learning about anatomy and how the body works, and it fascinated me to see how everything I was studying showed up in Pilates. It felt like the missing piece between understanding the body and actually helping people move better in it.
Pilates quickly spiralled into a passion for fitness and for understanding my own body. I’ve now been a massage therapist for over 10 years, but early in my career I felt like something was missing. I didn’t just want to treat people; I wanted to help them realize that they had the power to help themselves too. They just needed the right tools.
Pilates became that tool.
I went on to complete an 850-hour Classical Pilates training program, earning my Diploma and certification in Pilates on all equipment through Levels 1–5.
In February 2019, I opened The Phoenix Studio with a vision of bringing Pilates to our small community. For the first few years I taught mat classes only, and in 2023 I was finally able to bring classical Pilates equipment into the studio, expanding the experience for my clients and continuing to grow the studio I had always envisioned.
Outside of the studio, life is just as busy. I’m a mom of two young kids, a farm wife during the busy seasons, and I am a part owner of Revitalized Salon & Spa here in Fairview. Between farm life, family, and running two businesses, Pilates has remained my anchor. A place where I can reconnect with my body and help others do the same.
My goal with The Phoenix Studio is to create a space where people feel stronger, more confident, and more connected to their bodies, one movement at a time.
