Pilates as Return to Self: From Pain, Illness, and Hormones to Unshakable Sovereignty
Twice in my life, classical Pilates brought me home—first after ballet's toll of chronic pain and hormonal chaos, then post-lymphoma chemo in 2025. It didn’t just rebuild my body; it restored my command. From my path through ballet burnout, hormonal haze, and recovery—these practices invite you home, too.
My Story:
Ballet to Burnout: Pro dancer turned depleted—hormonal birth control fallout meant fog, fatigue, disordered eating. Pilates unlocked mobility and trust.
Pilates & Cycles: Healing sparked body literacy—learning my menstrual wisdom firsthand, cueing every breath with rhythm.
Pilates in Remission: Chemo stripped me bare; gentle mat flows met me there, rebuilding sovereignty breath by breath.
What I Teach: Guiding at-home Pilates for women rooted in:
The classical Method (mat, chair, spine corrector)—no reformer needed.
Cycle-informed cues for hormonal/energy ebbs.
Healing focus—for post-illness, pain, or stress bodies. Explore a free mat teaser below.
My Mission: Empower you to rediscover your body’s sovereignty through intelligent Pilates and hormone insight. With 15+ years, a 500-hour cert, and second-gen mentorship, I blend training with my trials. Lifelong student? Absolutely. Your guide? Wholeheartedly.
