Does this sound familiar?

You used to work out

It felt great. Then life got in the way - but you’re ready to get back your strength and confidence and feel like yourself again!

except

That old gym routine doesn’t work for your body any more (maybe it’s even part of the reason your joints ache).

Injury, surgery, a diagnosis - or just the passing of time - has changed your body and now you’re not sure what you can do with it anymore.

or maybe this is new to you

You’ve heard Pilates might be good for you - better balance, a stronger core and fewer aches all sound great! You’re ready to try (almost) anything to. . .

  • Feel less stiff

  • Improve your golf / pickleball game - or at least play without paying for it later

  • Keep up with your kids and grandkids

. . . but you have no idea where to start. You’ve read articles, watched YouTube videos, maybe even seen a doctor (or two or five) but nothing really seems to help.

You’ve been told (and maybe even accepted) that these daily pains and twinges are simply how your body is - or - just part of getting older, but. . .


It doesn’t have to be this way! Change is possible

Joint safe and adaptable for all ages and bodies, Pilates’ mindful, full-body approach is like nothing you’ve tried before.

It’s a workout

Pilates exercises focus on controlled movements that engage the entire body, emphasizing core strength, coordination and flexibility. The equipment uses spring resistance to provide an effective and efficient, low impact workout that reduces pain & stiffness while improving joint mobility and balance.

It’s a method

Pilates teaches you a new way of moving & breathing that strengthens the mind-body connection. You won’t just improve your workout - you’ll build a new level of awareness of your body and how you move it throughout your day.

The benefits go way beyond pain relief: 

  • Strength! Discover muscles you didn’t know you had as you tone and reshape your body

  • Improved balance and coordination

  • Confidence in your body and what it can do - after all, this is what it’s all about - feeling good in your own skin!

  • Increased energy and endurance

  • Better posture & alignment

  • Stress relief - learning to breathe properly can release years of tension from the neck and shoulders

Hi! I’m Lisa

I know what it’s like to be limited by pain.

I’ve felt the frustration of not recognizing or knowing what to do with my body.

- AND -

I know that change is possible (even if you’ve already seen all the experts & tried all the things).

Whether it’s an injury, surgery or the aches and challenges of aging that have you feeling stuck, learning to trust your body and move it in ways that feel good again is a journey and it helps to have a guide.

I’d like to be that for you. . .

my story of healing and building strength through Pilates

For years, I struggled with tight hips and low back pain

Pilates with Lisa has been a true game changer!

My hip and low back pain have substantially diminished, my core is stronger, my posture is better and I enjoy walking again.

You deserve to feel comfortable and confident in your body
today and every day for the rest of your life

That means:

  • Waking up EVERY day feeling GOOD

  • Feeling confident in your body and everything it can do

  • Enjoying the things you love without pain, fear or injury

  • Tossing out the belief that pain, stiffness and decline are a normal, unavoidable part of aging

  • Having a new awareness of how to sit, stand and move your body in ways that keep you feeling good

Lisa's knowledge is extraordinary!


I have been doing Pilates for a long time yet I continue to grow and learn with her. She knows exactly what each of us needs and customizes the workout accordingly.

Every client has a different story. Here are a few of theirs. . .

I began to see changes right away!

Lisa knew exactly what I needed to regain my strength again. She is the most compassionate and encouraging teacher I've ever met.

I feel stronger and more flexible and than I have in a very long time. I turned 60 in January and haven't been able to move like this in years.
