My movement journey began as a dancer. I grew up in Santa Ana taking dance classes, mainly ballet, and fell in love with the art. I had such a passion for dance, that I pursued it professionally in New York City. I attended the Joffrey Ballet School and danced professionally with Ballet Hispanico. When I stopped dancing professionally, I knew I would turn to Pilates to stay in shape because of its outstanding reputation amongst the dance community.

I loved learning about the depth of the Pilates method and how it strengthened me in new ways. It felt great to move for my personal wellness. I became a certified instructor in 2011 and was eager to pass on the many benefits of Pilates to others. Working with people from all walks of life and watching them progress has been truly rewarding for me.

Opening a studio close to my family and friends is something I have dreamed of doing. I'm so excited to work with my community.

Another part of me, is being the Mom to my 2 adorable daughters, Ciera (11yrs) and Paloma (9yrs). You may see them around the studio helping me out.

I look forward to assisting you in your wellness journey and the benefits you will receive. Let's RISE!
