Let’s go girls!

Women's health encompasses physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Achieving optimal health is not just about the absence of illness but also about leading a fulfilling life. National Women's Health and Fitness Day reminds us of the critical role women play in the health of their families, communities, and society at large. By focusing on their health and fitness, women can lead by example and inspire others to do the same.  

This day serves as a reminder that fitness is not about conforming to societal standards but about feeling strong, capable, and confident in one's body - something we believe strongly about here at CONNECT!  Pilates is an excellent way to challenge your body and create a feeling of strength and power.  Today is a great time to check in with yourself and ask some questions about the status of your health:

  1. When was the last time I saw my MD?

  2. Are there any health issues I’ve been avoiding dealing with or just hoping they would go away?

  3. How is my diet and nutrition?

  4. Am I getting enough sleep?

  5. What are my goals and what can I do today to work towards them?

In regards to your physical health, let us know what your goals are and how we can help.  We believe in the power of movement and that movement changes lives. 

If you are avoiding an issue or have a pain that is holding you back WE CAN HELP.  

If you have tried before without success WE CAN HELP.  

If you feel stuck in your fitness and are having a hard time moving forward WE CAN HELP!

I am a mover – plain and simple. I fidget, I stretch, I sit on the floor, I make things. I cook, I teach, and I play outside as much as I can. I’m grateful every day that 20 years ago I was accepted into Physical Therapy school.

I found my calling early and have spent my entire career as a curious observer of how we move. Functional, dysfunctional, different, interesting, and outright unbelievable movement patterns spark my curiosity and my creativity. I continue to be inspired and fascinated with the ability of the human body and mind to adapt and change (for better or worse) to meet the demands being placed on it.

I’ve spent many years learning manual techniques to align, lengthen, release, and stretch different areas of the body. What I’ve learned is that they are all useful as long as they help restore MOVEMENT. We are mobile beings and interact with each other and our world through our ability to move. I am passionate about empowering people to optimize their movement and fully engage with the world around them. This passion has given me amazing opportunities to teach locally, nationally and internationally to spread my love of movement. I hope to share that with you too!
