A chiropractor recommended Pilates to me back in 2003 (WOW, it's been a long time) to help with my chronic back pain. It took only three months for me to start to feel the results, and from there I was completely hooked!
In 2005 I decided to start teaching this remarkable exercise method and I've never looked back!
Now I get to help so many people feel better in their “homes” (bodies) and get back to what’s important to them
- moving through life with ease.
Exercise can be hard, and I take great care and pride in my instruction and believe that exercise should be fun, safe and effective. I have had the pleasure to help clients of all demographics. Whether it’s a joint replacement (“After two major surgeries … you served both as my Pilates instructor and my rehabilitation guru.”) or a chronic illness (I originally started Pilates to help me recover from the fatigue and weakness associated with my breast cancer treatments … Essex Pilates helped me get through two very difficult years and emerge stronger mentally and physically.”), or someone new to exercise (“I am finally feeling a connection to my abdominals.”). There IS a Pilates repertoire that will meet your personal needs.

What brings folks to
Essex Pilates & Wellness?
A desire to get stronger for THEIR life. Whether its taking a walk, playing a sport, gardening, or boating ... whatever gets them ready for their day.
The Pilates method of exercise
meets your body wherever you are, no matter who you are. It's suitable for beginners, active adults or teenagers, pre- and post-natal moms, and seasoned athletes.
The Pilates system focuses on the deep stabilizing muscles of the torso, hips, and shoulder girdle. A regular practice will help develop long, lean, and functionally strong muscles, without bulk. Practitioners feel energized, toned and focused, and leave classes feeling better than when they walked in.
