Instructors

  I have twin boys that make me crazy 

enough to enjoy exercise and working out!  

I love to laugh, find joy and push myself

 to be the best human I can be! 

 In my spare time you will find me… just kidding I don’t have spare time!  

Come and enjoy Hiit, Sculpt, Pilates, 

Barre and Bounce with me!  

You can do anything for 30 seconds 

when you are taking a high energy class

 from me!  Hope to see you soon! 

 I was born and raised in Gilbert, Arizona and grew up dancing and training in all styles of dance.  In 2018-2019,  I was apart of the NBA Phoenix Suns Dancers.  I attended The University of Arizona where I received a BFA degree in Dance and my Fletcher Pilates training. I have gone through both the Foundational and Professional Fletcher Pilates Program.  My Fletcher Pilates style comes from the classical side of Pilates and I  specialize in injury prevention, injury rehabilitation, Pilates for dancers, Pilates for kids and Pilates privates. 

While I love performing, teaching is such a big passion of mine and I love helping clients better understand their muscles and alignment to help avoid injuries in the future. I hope to make everyone feel their best so that they can live their best life. 

I've been a  Professional Group Fitness Instructor for over 25 years!  

I teach Reformer Pilates, Cycle, Yoga, Tabata, HITT, Step, Kick Box Cardio, 

Boot Camp, Muscle, Barre, Zumba®, 

and Mat Pilates!  

I love PowerCore because of the energy

 that is felt among the clients. 

It's an incredible feeling for me to help 

others improve their quality of life. 

Over the years, I have seen individuals gain confidence, become healthier, and meet their fitness goals. All fitness levels are always welcomed to join me.
 

After years of running marathons, trail running, boot camps and hiking, I suffered a brain & neck injury a few years ago. After a year of physical therapy, I was guided to Pilates to increase & maintain activity while getting stronger from injuries. I fell in Love with Pilates and immediately wanted to teach! I focus on the benefit of Pilates coordination for the brain, heavier strength training for muscles and balance/breath for the nervous system. I am a former High School Biology teacher, Education Consultant and civic leader who enjoys teaching and bringing people together. When I'm not at PowerCore I love to travel and hike with friends, my husband and 4 our kids! 

#MakeItCount is my Mantra!  

I am a former professional dancer

 that is passionate about 

health and fitness. 

Knowing the importance of taking 

care of my body as a professional

 athlete, I became a Pilates instructor, personal trainer, and health coach to 

share my love and knowledge for

 health with others. 

My classes are athletic and musically cued. All clients and levels of fitness are welcome!

 I am beyond grateful for PowerCore 

 and the family dynamic 

that has been created! 

 I have been teaching yoga and Pilates for 19 years. I have a bachelors degree from Arizona State University in business marketing from WP Carey school of business. I have taught at many studios and gyms including at the collegiate level as an admin faculty for mesa community college. But Power Core is my home, a place I love to go and be with some of the best people you’ll ever meet. When I am not at Power Core I am home with my four children and husband where we enjoy sports and traveling! I also work as a Neurofeedback technician and I am a huge advocate for mental health and physical well-being. 

 Powercore has been my home studio and favorite place to work out for years, so when I recently completed my yoga training I knew I wanted to teach at a place where I was already surrounded by “family.”  

Yoga means to yoke or union. 

My philosophy of teaching is to find the union of breath to body through movement and mindfulness. Yoking ourselves to the present helps us find peace and joy; allowing for healing to take place. It’s always an honor and privilege to help you create that sacred space on your mat, while also having fun and not taking ourselves too seriously! I’m a wife, a mom and a new grammie and believe in grace and respect for all. Hope to see you on your mat! Namaste!  

 I found Pilates 7 years ago when I learned I had a spinal stenosis in my lower spine. I used the reformer in physical therapy and fell in love with the machine. I decided to go through Pilates teacher training and I got classically trained. I naturally have always loved fitness. Whether it was HIIT classes, strength training, cardio, etc. I love any sort of movement. I then went through a more contemporary training and found my niche in athletic reformer Pilates. I think incorporating a wide range of movements, weight, and exercises is so important for your body to challenge your mind and body. The reformer is so versatile and allows you to do so much with your classes! I’ve been teaching for over six years now and can’t imagine doing anything else. I loved teaching at PowerCore because their fitness style matches what I teach. They love to work and sweat and it’s the best community to be apart of. It truly feels like my second home.
