I have cultivated skills and keen perception over a 20-year career that allow me to work with whatever you bring to the table, building on your strengths while revealing and challenging weaknesses.

I am pleased to offer private sessions at my studio in Spencertown, NY, with expansive Catskill views in the fresh air and open sky of the Hudson Valley. I also offer mat classes and classes and mentoring for Pilates instructors.
