Bethesda : Bethesda Row

Rockville Lifetime Fitness

I live in Bethesda with my husband Jake and son Kamron and our two puppies Leo and Zoey. I fell in love with Pilates about seven years ago while I was working full time and taking Pilates classes in the evenings after work. I have always been an active person and enjoyed variety of workouts including running, biking, hiking, tennis and others. But what I got from Pilates was like none other. I believe Pilates to be a total mind and body experience. So I decided to change gears and leave the corporate world and do something that I loved and I believed in and help others feel the same enthusiasm. I received my first mat certification from Power Pilates in 2004. I received a second mat certification from Quantum Pilates. I then began my comprehensive apparatus studies and training at Quantum with Mark Trudeau. I taught as an apprentice during my training and I completed my Level I, II, III certification in 2006. Since then, I have also received my Cycle Reebok certification and also teach various group exercise classes. I like helping my clients achieve their goals. My hobbies include traveling, reading, and most of all being around my family.
