Come away with me

From New York City’s architecture and London’s museums to Morocco’s bazaars and Hanoi’s street markets, art transcends borders, deepening our connection to each other. I believe Pilates is an art that deepens our connection to ourselves—and by curating artful wellness experiences at home and abroad, we can escape our everyday, immerse ourselves in culture, and reconnect with ourselves and the collective. Come away with me?

Dancer, traveller, curator

My story starts with a lifelong love affair with dance.

From the time I could walk, I danced, and it led me from my childhood dance studios in Seattle to the cut-throat stages of New York City, performing with modern and musical theatre companies. But, like all professional dancers, my journey to the spotlight wasn’t linear; a torn hamstring broke my body and my heart and sent me back home to the West Coast. That’s when I found Pilates, and it healed me.

Returning to New York was my tour de force, positioning me back on stage and back in my character shoes. And I had Pilates to thank—for healing my injury and my spirit. I felt stronger and more connected to my body than ever before. I wanted to share the method that healed me with other dancers and athletes, and so I became certified in Classical Pilates.

When an insatiable thirst to travel whisked me away from home again and again, Pilates was my ever-loyal travel companion.

From a summer traipsing the buttoned-up streets of London to a two-year sojourn in Paris, I tallied names in my little black book of private clientele, some who have stayed with me the past 20 years, wherever I’ve lived or roamed. But Pilates is more than just a mat workout for me: It connects us to our bodies, like the art and culture we experience abroad connect us to each other.

It’s no surprise I curate experiences that marry wellness with worldly encounters.

Whether you’re working out in your living room with kids running amok, in a luxury hotel room in a Dubai skyscraper, or in your own backyard with your best girlfriends (and your best bottles of wine, of course), whether you think of your body as a work of art or a work in progress, I believe Pilates will reconnect you with yourself. But don’t take my word for it—try a class and see for yourself.
