I instruct private, semi private & group classes with enthusiastic energy and a keen dancer’s eye for detail. I challenge my clients to work their bodies to maximum potential while making sure they are executing correct form and technique. This comes from my 35 plus years teaching and studying Dance, Pilates, Gyrotonics, Barre, Anatomy, Physiology and Body Mechanics.
Due to my unique teaching style and background, my classes are extremely popular and I look forward to working with you in the future.

I am compassionate and sensitive to the personal needs of my clients and want nothing more for them then success! With my upbeat attitude and persistent drive to achieve success, I focus on designing personalized workouts pertaining to my client’s needs. I am so very excited to train at Hayden Fitness Studio teaching Fitlicious/Mommylicious and Pilates. As a recent post natal Mamma I am very familiar with getting back that pre baby body. If small group isn’t where you are at I can also train you privately 1:1 if you prefer.

My first love is dance, and I’m fortunate to have had a career as a dancer.
This is my 16th year of teaching Pilates and I’m still learning. Something that keeps me excited about teaching are the people. Everyone is different, has different goals, had adifferent day than the person next to them and yet in class they are all centering in on their body, it’s sensations and how it moves though space. They are empoweringthemselves and it’s a great thing to see.
