PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

With over 14 years of experience as a NCPT as well as NASM –CPT, my professional goal is to help those in physical need. My rigorous training program and my work hand- in-hand with Physical and Massage therapists has prepared me to help clients suffering from various conditions and injuries, ages and populations from NFL players to cancer survivors.

I create individualized safe exercise programs based on advanced anatomy and therapeutic movement knowledge.

With the continuing education workshops plus a detail-oriented work ethic, my clients improve health and wellness. My passion for my job drives me to share my knowledge and expertise with future Pilates teachers through the Kane School Pilates Certification Program.
