I know the feeling of living entirely in your head. Cornell undergrad, Wharton MBA, Director at Google. My brain was always running the show. Pilates became the first place I could actually slow down and reconnect. That's why I started OFFLINE Pilates: a space to step out of the mental noise and back into your body.

My body has always been part of the story too. Competitive figure skating as a kid. Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting as an adult. Two Ironman 70.3 finishes. I know how to push. What I didn't know was how to move fully with intention.

The short version: after major surgery in London, I walked into a classical Pilates studio looking for rehab. I walked out taller, more aligned, more powerful. I was instantly hooked. I’d tried plenty of Pilates over the years, but the original method was the one that actually changed everything

I completed my comprehensive certification at Equinox in London and remain a serious student of the method. I train regularly with Alexandra Edwards and Christos Niaros and have taken workshops with Brooke Siler and Maria Earle. Pilates has a lineage, and I believe in honoring it.

I started OFFLINE Pilates to bring the vibrant, rigorous classical culture I found in London back home to the Bay Area. It felt too good to leave behind, and I wanted to build a space where that same energy could thrive here.

What I love most about this work is watching clients move without pain, stand taller, and feel at home in their bodies again. At the end of the day, it’s about connection - your body, your breath, and the inner strength that’s been there all along.
