"Change happens through movement, and movement heals" -Joseph Pilates
Why Pilates?
Pilates teaches you to be strong, to be flexible, to push your limits, to stay in alignment, to twist, to bend, to arch, to swing and to undulate. There is no other exercise I trust more to compliment each activity, each day in each state of my diverse physical being.
what the clients think
On Pilates
"We have been doing private Pilates lessons with Abby for five months and couldn't be happier with our progress. Abby is excellent at evaluating both on the initial lesson and each lesson after, giving little tweaks to our "homework" to address issues we have or that she notices. My partner and I originally thought we would do a few sessions, then branch out on our own, but the value of having Abby's instruction has been so great that we now schedule sessions every two weeks. We highly recommend Abby!"
"Abby is one of the best teachers I have ever had! She is always professional and on time. Her studio is immaculate. She listens to what I have to say, is very caring, and empathetic. I always walk out of her sessions feeling like a new person! Thank you, Abby"
On MFR
"Abby is a truly gifted bodyworker ~ gentle but precise and effective. Her work is subtle, attuned and well-considered. I treasure our sessions and truly notice a difference in my body and mind, both after each treatment and cumulatively over time". - LJK
"Abby is my go-to bodywork specialist for myofascial release work. Her gentle, intuitive and heart centered approach has led to profound changes in my body. I came to Abby for neck pain. After one session the pain was almost completely gone and I left our session feeling relief through my whole body! I even noticed after our session that my bloating went away. My pants literally fit differently after our session. I have continued to see Abby for routine myofascial release work and each time she seems to know exactly where my tension is without me even telling her. Her touch is magic and my body is so much happier since I started sessions with her!" - VLD
On Equine Bodywork
" I cannot recommend Abby enough! She came highly recommended to me by several barn mates whom Abby has worked with, and her work on my mare (who is rehabbing from a significant injury) has been immensely helpful! I’ve seen a difference in her movement and attitude after just one session with Abby! We are excited to continue working with Abby and having her work support our training work moving forward." -E.O
"I have been working with Abby for the past three years and can confidently say her work on my performance horses has been the support they need to take it to the next level. The change and progress they have made since adding her sessions into their routine is undeniable."
