frequently asked questions

  • Your first session begins with a brief assessment in which I observe you perform several simple movements. The remainder of the session will incorporate exercises and stretches based on your individual goals and needs. Throughout the session, I will offer verbal and tactile feedback as necessary and will provide a safe space for you to ask questions. As you begin to move you may realize there are areas you didn’t even realize you needed to strengthen--or release! Each session thereafter will build on the last--you will see repeat exercises but no session is ever the exact same. Each session is 55 minutes.

  • You just need a mat (or even a large towel), laptop or ipad, and enough space for me to see your body sitting, standing, and lying down. Props are great to have but completely optional. You can still get a great workout with just your bodyweight!

  • Gym clothing such as leggings or shorts are great. Bare feet are preferred but if your feet get cold, wear socks. Grip socks are best, so you don’t slide on the equipment. For Zoom sessions, it’s helpful to wear colors opposite to those of your yoga mat. For example, if you have a black yoga mat, wear lighter colored pants.

  • I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. All cancellations must be made online. Please refer to the Liability Waiver & Guidelines form to read more about my cancellation policy.

  • Yes! I work with complete beginners as well as advanced students. Pilates is a low-impact form of exercise that can easily be modified and adjusted for anybody. I meet my clients where they are and often use my rehabilitation background to help my clients get stronger.

  • It depends! I often recommend that clients who really want to see and feel a difference start with consistent Pilates sessions twice a week. What you’re doing outside of our sessions also matters--consistent exercise, proper nutrition and self-care also play a role in your results. I offer home programs to those who are interested in keeping a solid routine.
