My passion for Pilates began over 20 years ago. In my professional career as a nurse and raising four children the physical demands of both had started wear on my body. I was in search of safe and effective exercises that I could utilize to retrain my body to engage muscles properly throughout all types of movements and physical activity after losing over 100 pounds and coping with the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. I had found what my body needed through Pilates and wanted to share this information with others who felt they had physical limitations that was preventing them from enjoying daily living. So, in 2002 Pilates Connection was born. I have kept my license as a Registered Nurse and have found ways to incorporate my nursing knowledge into my practice in order to give my clients an individualized, well-rounded program. I used this knowledge to expand Pilates Connection into a multi-functioning Pilates Wellness Center, incorporating programs that includes functional movement, strength, balance work, agility and alignment. We also offer assistance with nutrition and behavior modification for those who also want to make lifestyle changes
