TESTIMONIALS
To put it simply, Barb is an amazing Pilates instructor. When I started working with Barb I was nervous, I had no idea what to expect from a Pilates workout. From the first visit, she made the Pilates concepts approachable and easy to understand.
Barb is a very knowledgeable, patient and encouraging instructor. She is outstanding at her ability to observe the body in motion and give precise, targeted instructions that create the perfect alignment and awareness of your body as you are working out. She is very sensitive to the individual needs of her clients and their physical abilities, guiding them to reach new limits.
Barb makes sure that sessions are varied, fresh, engaging and fun! I am more flexible, have better posture and greater stamina, all due to my Pilates sessions with Barb! Barb is an example of a professional who exudes passion for what she does and creates a caring connection with the people that she works with.

I found Barb following a car accident while I was trying to rehabilitate my body to be able to go back to the strenuous exercise I was used to participating in. Not only has she helped alleviate pain and improved my body mechanics to prevent future injury, but she has helped me find more strength and flexibility with much less strain on my body.
Barb is a highly trained and encouraging teacher; her background as a physical therapist gives her a unique perspective. She is able to use subtle but very effective exercises on the reformer that make huge gains. Barb individualizes the session based on what your needs are that day. Each class is fresh and always presents well-timed challenges.
One hour flies by and I feel energized and refreshed after each session with Barb.
I feel extremely lucky to have found her.
