Every Body Deserves to Bloom
My love of movement began early, shaped by years of dance and acrobatics, with over a decade of teaching dance. When an autoimmune diagnosis forced me to step away from everything I loved, I found my path back through Pilates.
What began as rehabilitation became revelation. Pilates gave me back my strength, my mobility, and my confidence, igniting a desire to share that experience with others. Whether you're recovering from injury or illness, managing a chronic condition, or simply looking to move better and perform at your best, there's a place for you here.
I hold two Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training certifications, including a Balanced Body® Certification, with specialized experience in chronic pain, osteoporosis, breast cancer, joint replacements, scoliosis, hypermobility, and autoimmune conditions. I believe Pilates meets you exactly where you are—and takes you further than you imagined.

Owner & Lead Instructor
I can’t recommend Lily highly enough. I decided to give Pilates a try a few years ago because one of my son’s youth hockey teammate’s moms owned a Pilates studio. Lily was my very first instructor, and I was immediately hooked.
What makes Lily special is her focus on technique, positioning, and breathing. She constantly reminds you to slow down, move correctly, and breathe, and somehow that makes the workout both more challenging and more relaxing at the same time. That balance is one of the things I fell in love with about Pilates.
I usually took at least two classes a week, and every single class felt different. I was always shocked by something new she came up with. She has an incredible ability to keep things fresh while still making every movement intentional and effective.
We used to jokingly tell her she was “the right kind of mean” — and any Pilates student will immediately understand exactly what that means. She pushes you in the best possible way because she genuinely wants you to improve.
Anyone who has the chance to take a class with Lily is incredibly lucky.

What People Are Saying
“I have been going to Lily for over two years now. I have scoliosis and she is very knowledgeable about the type of Pilates/exercise that is needed for it. I feel so good after every session as the pain in my back is lessened.”
— Charlene R.“I first did Pilates more than 15 years ago. I loved it then, but hadn’t been back in a long, long time and didn’t know where to start.
I’m overweight, perimenopausal, and hypermobile. I wasn’t sure what Pilates was going to look like for me in this season, but Lily came highly recommended by a friend, and so I decided to try it out. I’m now obsessed! Fully back in love with Pilates, and having a lot of resolution with my toughest issues.
Lily gave me the tools to strengthen and stabilize in areas that were really lacking that. She has a special knowledge and skill set working with hypermobile bodies, and working with her helped to substantially reduce my subluxations and hypertonicity. Not only am I stronger, but my body feels better.”
— Kassi G. “I had a solo session with Lily. I have been going to Pilates in Canada for the last 4 months, but since I have scoliosis my body is not evenly aligned. It was eye-opening and fantastic. She got to know the way my body aligns itself with the scoliosis. From there she went through Pilates moves and advised how to properly adapt my movements to get the most out of my classes. Thanks so much Lily!”
— Shannon
“In 2023 my body was pretty beat up, I had limited mobility as I had needed both knees replaced for many years. I was afraid of not being able to do PT after my surgeries. I met Lily, and everything has fallen into place far faster than I could have imagined! Before surgery I could not stand for more than a few moments and I could not bend my knees. It was a challenge to build hip and leg strength under my circumstances. Lily had the know-how! I wowed my physical therapists after surgery.
I decided to continue my workouts and they are even more inspiring today as I’m learning what my body can do. I am 69 years old and I’m so thankful I found Lily. Her knowledge of Pilates and the body have been a miracle for me.”
— Karla G.“Lily knows exactly what I need to strengthen and stretch my body in order to improve my posture and pain. We’ve been working hard to improve my body’s ability to handle pain and the discomfort that comes from my back and hip. I always feel better after my session with Lily.”
— Rachael
“Lily is hands down one of the best Pilates instructors out there! She is incredibly knowledgeable and has this amazing ability to tailor her classes to every single person in the room, no matter their skill level. She’s super attentive and always ready with a helpful modification, whether you're looking for a greater challenge or needing to protect an injury. You’ll leave her sessions feeling totally supported, challenged, and in excellent hands.”

“Lily has helped me discover a new love for Pilates. I honestly never thought I would find a workout that I love so much and makes such a dramatic difference in my health and happiness. I’m down almost 100 lbs. and so much stronger! I couldn’t do a plank when I started and now I can hold one for over a minute. I’m basically Wonder Woman, all thanks to Lily!
