Meet Our Instructors

I began my journey in 1996 studying Ashtanga Yoga at Aims Community College, and I later received my Yoga teaching certification through AAAI/ISMA. In 2003 I completed my Pilates training at the world renowned Pilates Center in Boulder, Colorado.

I have been blessed with the amazing experience to run and operate my own studio since 2003. I began at the Health Club at Pelican Lakes from 2003-2010 and then on to birth the Yoga Pilates Center at the Fort Collins club directing and managing their program for 2 years, from 2007-2009. The opportunity to take on The Windsor Pilates Yoga Studio in June of 2010 added to the unbelievably divine and fortunate events of my journey. We bought the studio and changed the name to The Pilates Yoga company in November of 2010 and moved back to Pelican Lakes in 2017 where we are now known as Noco Pilates company..

During this time I’ve continued to certify in many contemporary Pilates apparatus, as well as Franklin Method and Facsinator. More than 2 decades of guidance in movement and I’m still learning and personifying these techniques.

I am grateful and look forward to providing outstanding service to current clientele as well as giving new clients the experience of these modalities.

Through movement, we enhance our physical capabilities, and invigorate our mental and emotional well-being. Movement can transform, heal, and energize, serving as an incentive for positive change. I completed a 12 month Pilates teacher training apprenticeship
and am a certified instructor through NOCO Pilates Company.

I enjoy the combined result of my Pilates and Cardio Sculpt classes.

In the context of Pilates and cardio, movement becomes a vehicle for empowerment. Pilates, with its focus on controlled and purposeful movements, builds strength, flexibility, and balance. Cardio exercises, on the other hand, elevate the heart rate, boosting cardiovascular health and endurance. Together, these disciplines enhance the power of movement by sculpting the body and fostering a robust and inspired mindset.

I hold Apparatus (Reformer, Cadillac/Tower, Chair and Barrel) and Mat Pilates Certifications from Pilates Sports Center (PSC). I’m excited to teach at this beautiful studio. I’m grateful for my Pilates journey and the amazing individuals I’ve met along the way. It began with taking Pilates Mat classes, moving on to Reformer and Apparatus classes and eventually my passion for Pilates drew me to becoming a teacher and continuing to improve my own practice. This journey and my experience are beyond any expectations I had. I’m originally from MN and relocated to Fort Collins in 2017 with my husband, making this my second time living in CO. After a successful 25-year career in corporate HR leadership roles at High Technology companies, I retired from the corporate world after relocating. I have first-hand experience with the benefits of Pilates. With over a decade of experience taking Pilates classes and a background as a triathlete, I have completed numerous Sprint, Olympic and Half Iron (70.3) distance triathlons, including finishing IronMan Arizona in November 2021. I believe Pilates played a pivotal role in keeping me injury-free while training for and during triathlons and fostering a strong mind-body connection that enhances performance and well-being. Whether you are new to Pilates or someone who is experienced, I look forward to working with you. From building core strength and flexibility to improving posture and relieving stress, or any of the other benefits of Pilates, I am excited to guide you on your Pilates journey!

I moved to Windsor in August 2022 after spending 10 years in Austin, TX. It was time for a change of climate and scenery! One thing that hasn’t changed is my love for movement. As a Pilates Method Alliance Certified Teacher, I have been teaching mat and apparatus classes since 2014. Whether working with clients 1-1, or in a small-group setting, I focus on individual needs and goals. I enjoy working with pregnant/post-natal women, injured/rehab clients, young adults to seniors with scoliosis and spondylolysis, as well as recreational and high-performing athletes. As a competitive athlete, with my fair share of injuries, my Pilates practice helps me to maintain an awareness of correct body mechanics and postural alignment. I also hold a Personal Strength and Fitness Certification through the National Council on Strength & Fitness (NCSF); and an Advanced Diploma in Personal Nutrition from NCFE (Northern Council for Further Education). I am interested in applied neurology training, the fascial system, and scar tissue release therapy. When I’m not moving my body -Pilates, running, cycling – I enjoy cooking, crocheting, and drinking tea.
