Originally introduced to Pilates in 2018, Emily discovered its transformative power while training as a competitive bodybuilder. With over 11 years of weight training experience and a 5th-place finish in New England’s largest bodybuilding competition, she initially turned to Pilates as a way to enhance recovery, mobility, and performance. What started as a complement to strength training quickly became a passion in its own right.
Now with over 7 years of Pilates practice, Emily combines her deep understanding of body mechanics with a strong commitment to helping others feel stronger, more supported, and better connected to their bodies. Her teaching emphasizes not only strength and performance, but also longevity and injury prevention—ensuring clients can move well now and for years to come.
Working with people at all levels—from beginners to advanced clients—is a core part of Emily’s approach. It’s intentional, thoughtful, and grounded in helping each person build a strong foundation that supports their long-term well-being.
