“I’ve been doing Pilates for over ten years and started working with Karen nine months ago after having a baby. I immediately fell in love. Karen’s attention to detail and form are unmatched, not to mention her sessions are fun and engaging. Since working with her, I have learned how to properly breathe, engage my core, and correctly do exercises I’ve been doing for years. Karen has without a doubt helped me perfect my practice and I’m so grateful to her for it.”

“Working with Karen is one of the best gifts I could have given myself postpartum. After an emergency C-section, I wanted to rebuild my body following a truly traumatic experience, and Karen has been incredible every step of the way. In just a few months, I already feel almost completely back to my pre-baby strength. I genuinely look forward to every session and am so grateful to be in her care. She is compassionate, so knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond—she has even held my five-month-old when he refuses to nap! I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

“We have been working with Karen via Zoom since March of 2020. Working with her has been a true bright spot for us during an otherwise difficult time. We have both suffered from back pain and other injuries over the years and Karen has been instrumental in helping both of us recover. We leave our workouts feeling stronger and better in our bodies (and also exhausted in the best way).
I was going to Physical Therapy twice a week for many months and now I am down to weekly sessions with the hope of being able to graduate soon. This never would have happened without Karen’s help.
Karen is truly the best at what she does. She’s passionate about teaching people and helping everyone’s body reach its full potential. Taking Pilates from her is one of the best decisions we have ever made.”

“Karen is an incredibly talented Pilates teacher and fitness health coach. She changed my life after I had a slip and fall injury that left me unable to workout without pain. She completely committed herself to my recovery. She brings an expert level of knowledge to each session. She stays motivated for me and continues to evolve my fitness program which she meticulously crafts for the specific issues I am having.
Her style of teaching focuses on both setting long term goals as well as detailed corrections that along the way ensure I am safe doing the workouts. At all times she is engaged and focused. I can’t imagine a more dedicated expert that is so motivating and positive to work with. Her knowledge is vast, her enthusiasm is felt, and her fun nature makes the hour go by quickly regardless of how hard she is making me work.
She has truly saved me and prepared me to be able to go out into the world and have confidence again to do the sports I love. I 100% recommend Karen as an amazing trainer.”

“Karen has been an absolute godsend. At every session, she arrives with thoughtful new exercises, making the most of our time together while intuitively adapting to whatever my body needs that day. She has a rare gift for identifying even the subtlest imbalances in posture, alignment, and muscle development, helping my body strengthen in a deeply personalized and effective way. I’m in my mid-40s, and my body hasn’t felt this strong, toned, and in tune since my 20s.”

“Working with Karen is such a gift. My private sessions have delivered consistent, noticeable results in just a few months. Her sessions are challenging, focused, and expertly designed. Karen has an intuitive understanding of what my body needs on any given day. When I’ve experienced injuries, she has helped me return to exercise safely and efficiently.
Conversely, when l’ve come to the session injury free, she has challenged me a perfect amount. I have seen real improvements in my strength, especially in my core - including visible abdominal definition for the first time in my life. At the same time, my flexibility, posture, and overall mobility have increased significantly, helping me move better and feel stronger in my day-to-day life. I could not recommend Karen more highly.”

“Karen has helped me immensely in my senior years. Three years ago, I discovered pickleball but couldn’t play it because a painful case of plantar fasciitis made it almost impossible. Within 2 weeks of working with Karen, I was able to play without pain.
Karen’s enthusiasm and joy is infectious. Instead of feeling as if I’m in a workout, it feels as if I’m at a party where my body keeps getting better.”

“I have been doing Pilates and physical therapy with various talented practitioners for just shy of twenty years and can confidently say that Karen is the best instructor I have worked with. Due to a chronic joint condition, my pain fluctuates but Karen adapts easily and modifies the exercise plan in response to whatever my body is feeling that day. I feel safer with her than with other practitioners because she carefully listens to my feedback and adjusts accordingly. Finally, she always has her eye on progression so I do not get stuck at one level of functionality. When I first came to Karen, I was not doing much aerobic exercise at all but now I ride the bike regularly and just did an 8.6 mile hike! ”

“A friend of mine recommended Karen to me when I was looking for help with a recurring neck and shoulder issue. I really needed someone that was going to pay close attention to my movements and insist I perform the movements properly. Karen is very knowledgeable, experienced and has a keen eye for identifying areas of your body that need specific attention. I don’t know how I would have made it through without Karen. I trust and love working with Karen.”
— Sonia P
“Karen is extremely knowledgeable about the body and her care for her clients is so evident in her approach. I am 90 years old and I trust her explicitly to help my body stay well and in good shape. Karen is by far the best Pilates instructor I have worked with in the 40 plus years I have practiced Pilates.”
