Meet your instructor

Pilates has been part of my life for more than 20 years, but it was after having twins that I truly fell in love with the Reformer and the way Pilates can transform how you feel in your body.
What began as a personal passion eventually became something I wanted to share with others. I became a certified Pilates instructor and began teaching both private sessions and studio classes in Ulm, Germany, where I developed a deep appreciation for thoughtful instruction, individualized movement, and the power of having an instructor who is truly paying attention.
Now, I’m bringing that same approach home to Boise—my hometown—and creating the kind of Pilates experience I’ve always loved: personal, intentional, and centered around the individual.
When I’m not in the studio, you’ll usually find me traveling, cooking, or spending time with my family. I believe movement should be something you enjoy and look forward to, and I’m excited to help you discover that for yourself at Privata.
