Cathy became interested in Pilates as a means of exercising and aging gracefully. As she continued her practice, she not only noticed improvements in her physical strength but also felt a strong connection to the approach of mind, body, and spirit. This connection resonated with her background in physical therapy, which she had been practicing for over 25 years with experience in early intervention, therapy for persons with developmental disabilities, rehabilitation, and geriatrics.
With her newfound passion for Pilates, she decided to make a shift in her career, viewing it as an extension of therapy with a fresh perspective. Cathy finds great joy in teaching, particularly the personal connections she forms with clients and the satisfaction of watching their personal growth through this movement experience, both in their bodies and in their quality of life.
Outside of her professional life, Cathy has a deep love for her family, nature, kayaking, hiking in the woods with her dog Gracie, traveling, and photography. Her personal goal is to remain grateful moment to moment for her family, personal connections, health, and opportunities to experience the world around her.

What Cathy's Clients Are Saying:
Cathy is the first person to train me to keep my legs aligned on the reformer! And what a difference this makes in preventing knee strain and in walking. Her PT background shines through each part of the training.

After a back injury I started Pilates as a way to continue to heal when PT had ended. Cathy made me a Pilates convert. I still rely on her a year and a half later. She proved to be someone I could always trust to know what I could do--or shouldn't do. My sessions, from the start, have been enormously helpful and (to my surprise) enjoyable!

5 Stars for Cathy!! My daughter and I did introductory semi-private lessons with Cathy. We both have different issues and she has been very attentive and helpful to us both. After the Christmas holidays are over, we will discuss where to go next-continue with semi-private lessons or enroll in some classes.Cathy is knowledgeable, skillful, patient, and personable. I'm hoping to continue with her!
