About me. I discovered Pilates following a soccer injury that resulted in a torn ACL. Despite undergoing extensive physical therapy for many months, I still felt profoundly weak. Simple tasks like walking for more than 30 minutes became excruciatingly painful. Realizing the need for a transformation, I turned to Pilates to not only strengthen my injured leg but also to fortify my entire body. Through consistent practice, I experienced a remarkable improvement in my strength and overall well-being, surpassing my pre-injury condition. This transformation fueled my passion, leading me to embark on Pilates teacher training in 2017.

Driven by my love and passion for Pilates, I established Era Pilates with a vision to create a space where individuals could enhance their movement capabilities and achieve greater strength. Over the years, I've dedicated myself to honing my expertise by learning from master trainers such as Lisa Eppen, Anula Maliberg, Cara Reeser, and Jennifer Gainni. My areas of specialization include contemporary and classical Pilates methodologies, business management, prenatal and postpartum Pilates, and childbirth education.

Era Pilates has been a realization of my aspirations. Leaving behind the corporate world, I committed myself entirely to Era Pilates, and I haven't looked back since. As the years passed, my vision for Era Pilates evolved, leading to the inception of Era Pilates Teacher Training School in 2023. This initiative aims to shape the future of the Pilates industry in Indianapolis and beyond, ensuring that the principles and benefits of Pilates are disseminated widely.

Why am I starting a teacher training program? It has always been my goal for Era Pilates to become a teacher training studio. I want to help shape and develop the future of the Pilates industry here in Indiana, as well as around the world. Throughout my Pilates journey, I’ve taken part in many teacher trainings, pre and post-partum Pilates, advanced Pilates programs, and mentorships. From these experiences, I’ve developed a teacher training focused on utilizing by-the-book knowledge, but more importantly, teaching the body in front of you. My vision for this program is to add value for my student teachers by adding one-on-one mentoring sessions, study group, as well as student teaching opportunities.
