Experience in the area
I have been teaching Pilates since 1989 (back when there was no Pilates certification) and was certified by the PhysicalMind Institute in 1993. I became an ACE certified personal trainer in 2000, the same year I was accepted as a Certifying Pilates Teacher for PhysicalMind. In both of my former Pilates studios in the states, Body Precision and balanCenter Pilates, I worked with Physical Therapists, chiropractors, and physicians to help their patients regain functional strength and mobility faster after and during illness and injury.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject Since there is so much pelvic floor strengthening in Pilates, it really will help your sex life!

What do you like about this subject? I am known in TCI as simply "the Pilates & Reiki lady." I love & live Pilates after watching how well it works.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? There is so much still to learn and do. I am in my 40s and feel like my life has just started. Who knows where I'll go next?

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Joseph Pilates trained German Olympic boxer Max Schmelling along with the late boxing promoter Nat Fleischer, both of whom assisted his move to NYC in 1926.
