Laurie began college as a marketing major but changed her mind when she felt marketing was really just making people think they wanted something they didn’t need. She switched majors many times– from English to Religion to Liberal Arts to Exercise Science, until she began designing her own major at UMASS. In that time she also earned her Associates and Certificate in Massage Therapy, trained with Power Pilates and Stott Pilates, and became a birth doula. 

While she enjoyed her many hats, she found the one that fit perfectly when she became co-owner of The Pilates Studio and finally learnt that marketing didn’t have to make her feel “icky”!

Laurie's classes are known for their playfulness.

Welcome to Laurie's class, where personal connections, playfulness, and uplifting encouragement set the stage for an engaging and enjoyable Pilates experience.


Her classes foster personal connections. She takes the time to build relationships with her students, showing genuine interest in their lives beyond the studio. 

Laurie's commitment to safe and effective alignment is balanced with a practical approach. While she provides cues and guidance for proper form, she understands that each body is unique, and minor variations in alignment can be acceptable as long as safety and overall benefits are maintained.

The instructors are knowledgeable and creative. I told Laurie about some pain I'd been having recently during exercise. She immediately had a plan for mat class, and I didn't experience the usual pain at all! 10/31/24
