A Holistic Approach to Fitness

I am a Licensed Massage Therapist based in Livingston, Montana, where I have lived and practiced for over 25 years. I have more than 15 years of experience teaching Pilates and fitness, with nearly 20 years of personal Pilates practice. My lifelong engagement in movement and outdoor activities—including hiking, skiing, paddle boarding, golf, and court sports—has shaped a deep respect for the body’s innate capacity to adapt, heal, and move efficiently when properly supported.
​
My practice integrates therapeutic massage, mindful movement, and corrective exercise to support pain reduction, injury recovery, and long-term functional health. I work with clients both pre- and post-surgically for shoulder, knee, and hip replacements, as well as those navigating plantar fasciitis, sciatica, disc herniations, spinal fractures, spondylolisthesis, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Each session is guided by careful assessment, movement observation, and an individualized approach that honors the whole person—not just the presenting condition.
​
I studied Health and Exercise Science at Globe University and hold advanced certifications in Golf Fitness through the Titleist Performance Institute. I am also a Certified Herbalist through the Herbal Academy and a Certified Holistic Nutritionist through AFPA, with an emphasis on autoimmune conditions and women’s health. This integrative foundation allows me to consider musculoskeletal health alongside systemic influences such as inflammation, stress, nutrition, and lifestyle patterns that impact healing and resilience.
​
My Pilates training is rooted in the STOTT Pilates® method, known for its biomechanical integrity and rehabilitative focus. I believe that each body moves uniquely, shaped by history, habits, and life experience. By identifying movement patterns and imbalances, exercises are intentionally designed to restore alignment, improve neuromuscular awareness, and support efficient, coordinated movement. This mindful approach enhances body awareness, encourages nervous system regulation, and helps build strength and flexibility in a balanced, sustainable way.
​
The STOTT Pilates® method is based on five foundational principles: breath, rib cage placement, pelvic placement, shoulder stability, and cervical alignment. These principles guide each movement with precision and intention, reinforcing core stability while promoting ease, symmetry, and confidence in daily movement
