My job is to listen, collaborate with, and support you. Together, we will get you moving, revitalizing your relationship with your body by deepening your awareness and knowledge of self. My classes are both sweaty and contemplative. I know that each person is unique so I don't use words like "neutral" or "normal" and I reference action, intention, and orientation rather than shape, result, or appearance. I understand and approach "queer" not just as a label pertaining to gender identity and sexuality but also the action of queering: to question, reorient, and make strange. I facilitate Pilates queerly.

I am a dance artist, educator, writer, and certified Pilates instructor. I fell in love with Pilates while navigating chronic illness and then healing from and returning to dance after a subsequent invasive, emergency surgery. Pilates supported me in finding stability, joy, deep + tonic muscles that I had never intentionally engaged previously, breath, and appreciation for myself.

With curiosity and eagerness, I have trained via several contemporary Pilates programs in order to engage with a multiplicity of experiences, approaches, and perspectives: The Kane School (Mat), East River Pilates (Reformer), and Ellie Herman Pilates (Springboard, Cadillac, Barrel, and Chair). I am in a continual practice of finding ways to make this work accessible, decolonial, evidence-based, fear and harm-reducing, and consensual. My facilitation is grounded in my practice as a dancer and inspired by the teachings of my dance, somatics, and anatomy/kinesiology teachers. I also hold a BA with Highest Honors in Dance from Smith College. I live in Brooklyn / Lenapehoking with my spouse Em, three cats, and about 40 plants.
