Katie is a classically certified instructor through the United States Pilates Association, the first and oldest Pilates professional training program in the world, and is a proud resident of South Orange. Fascinated by the patterns in the human body and how the everyday wear and tear of work, stress, and daily living can be impactful, Katie loves observing how clients benefit from the immediate positive effects of a challenging workout, and how Pilates creates physical and mental change beyond the studio door. As a former gymnast, she was immediately sold on Pilates because of its inherent combination of strength training, flexibility and balance control—A system that freed her from lower back pain, provided stress relief, and improved her golf swing.
