I invite you to my in-home studio, where you'll find a comfortable and private space that offers tranquility not found in larger studios. This will allow us to focus entirely on your personal goals during our time together.

In just one session a week, you can enhance your core strength, promote balanced muscle development, and improve your overall flexibility.

Your needs are my top priority, and I'm committed to creating a session that's tailored just for you. I would love to welcome you to my studio, where we can explore your unique goals together. As a special invitation, your first session is on me!

About the Instructor

I genuinely believe in the power of the Pilates method. After struggling with chronic back, foot, and wrist pain for over a decade, I found relief through Pilates, and I’ve been pain-free ever since. My passion for this practice led me to leave my career of twenty years to become a Balanced Body Certified Pilates Instructor. I’m excited to share this life-changing journey with others!

  • "If you have ever wondered if Pilates will make you feel stronger, more flexible, and even empower you…do not hesitate working with simply the most knowledgeable and experienced instructor, Chris! I cannot praise her enough! I am a woman over 60 and began working with Chris about 2 years ago. I started going to Chris once a week and now I consistently do Pilates twice a week. She is so patient with all my aches and pains. Chris creates a customized Pilates plan each session based on how I feel! I have definitely gained strength and flexibility. I see this when I do my own workouts at home because I have to increase my weights and I know it’s all due to Pilates. I simply love Chris and her passion for making me stronger! 💪"

    — Julie L.

  • "I have been physically active my whole life. However, in recent years, I have found that I stiffen easily which can lead to injuries. My daughter, who is a PT, suggested I explore Reformer Pilates to improve both my core strength and flexibility. Fortunately for me, I became aware of Chris and started working with her about a year and a half ago. While my daughter’s suggestion was indeed correct, working with Chris has been the best part of it. Each session is tailor made to my specific situation, which often is a moving target with injuries, physical limitations and surgeries. If you are considering Reformer Pilates, I would highly recommend Chris. Not only is she a skilled professional, she is personally a delight to work with!"

  • "I decided to give Pilates a try a couple of years ago when I was ready for a new kind of workout. I have worked out at nearly every gym in the city of Rochester and have had numerous trainers along the way specializing in all kinds of modalities. What I have been so impressed with is how strong Pilates has made my entire body. It has improved balance, given me strength, and allowed me to do projects at home without injury due to Chris’ teachings about form, utilizing all parts of the body, and improving core strength. She is meticulous with form to ensure there are no injuries and is always ready to make whatever modifications are needed to meet your individual needs. Chris offers constant guidance throughout the entire workout to remind you about form, give you ways to get the most out of your session, avoid injury, etc. I feel so much stronger and more balanced, both traits that are imperative to aging well. I have heard of other places offering Pilates classes, but not with the attention to each participant that Chris offers by keeping her class size limited. You feel prioritized, listened to and workouts are tailored to your specific needs. Besides the many great things I can say about Pilates as a workout, you truly will not find a more delightful person to do it with. You will fall in love with her in one meeting!"
