"Nearly 6 months after taking my first class with Mariela, I am now completely pain free for the first time in my adult life, which as anyone who has suffered from chronic, debilitating pain can tell you, is nothing short of life-changing." 

​

I am a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher with over 10 years of experience working in clinical and studio settings. I bring a nurturing, detail-oriented, and high expectation approach to movement instruction, to help clients discover their greatest movement potential. While remaining loyal to the traditional Pilates repertoire, my sessions integrate elements of dance training and targeted rehabilitative exercise.​ For the past several years I've had the opportunity to work at The Lifted Lotus, a holistic pelvic floor therapy clinic located in Brooklyn, NY. With my background in pelvic floor anatomy, biomechanics, and trauma-informed instruction, I specialize in working with people navigating complex pelvic pain conditions, lower back pain, and pelvic floor dysfunction. I feel especially passionate about supporting prenatal and postpartum populations in building body literacy, reconnecting to their strength, and regaining trust in their innate strength. ​I received my 450 hour Pilates teacher training through Polestar Pilates and have pursued advanced certifications in Pregnancy & Postpartum Corrective Exercise, Pilates for Neurological Conditions, and Midlife Exercise for Osteoporosis & Joint Pain.
