Welcome!

I have always been interested in the human body, anatomy, movement and the role nutrition plays in health. I was a cross-country runner in college receiving my BS in Human Development in 2001. I received my MBA in 2003 and my Pilates certification in 2004 from a Romana Kryzanowska, classically based program. I attended on-going teacher training from Pilates Aligned of Beverly Hills, while I was living in California, and completed the Breast Cancer Exercise Specialist (BCES) training through the Pink Ribbon Program. I have been trained in CoreAlign by Balanced Body and have been certified through the Pilates Method Alliance.

I have been teaching and practicing pilates, expanding into other modalities and evolving and honing my skills over what seems like a lifetime now. And it’s still an exciting, ever-evolving practice.

When working with clients, I love to tailor workouts to fit each person’s specific needs. I enjoy mixing classically based Pilates with more modern styles, even incorporating other types of movement. This platform gives me the opportunity to offer options to suit any fitness level, challenge or goal a student may have. Welcome. I’m excited to begin our journey together.

REACH OUT

Laura is an exceptional instructor. She makes her class different from week to week, so students don't get bored with the same-old order of exercises; instead, it's the challenging mind-body experience Joseph Pilates surely intended from his system. Laura also has a vibrant, upbeat personality and sense of humor; so her classes are always fun to be in, despite how hard we are all working.

Leslie

Two big “thumbs up” for any Pilates mat class taught by Laura, she is such a terrific instructor. Her teaching style demonstrates her total knowledge of the Pilates method. She makes every class challenging yet successful for the beginner as well as the advanced student. I always appreciate a teacher that give modifications. Also, you never get bored because Laura comes up with the most interesting combinations of exercises and never repeats the same sequence in the same class.

Sheila

I was in need of a reboot of my fitness and physique. I was 49 and headed toward the unacceptable “Dad Bod.” I knew I needed an expert to keep me accountable and customize a plan to help me get magazine cover ready. Laura is a bonafide expert and an even better human being. I’ve decreased my body fat, increased lean muscle, drastically improved my strength, and my core is looking pretty bad ass.

Brandon

Laura is an exceptional Pilates instructor. I've worked with her for over 5 years in both group classes and private lessons. She always adjusts the workouts to what my body needs and pays attention to how I'm performing the exercises. She's also a certified Pink Ribbon Program instructor and after my bilateral mastectomy worked with me to eliminate the stiffness and soreness post surgery and helped me regain full mobility and flexibility. Practicing with Laura is always fun and filled with laughter and positive results.
