Find answers to my most common Pilates Questions below
What if I can't do all the exercises?
If you are unable to complete an exercise, I will work with you and make sure we modify or stop any exercise that may be causing any difficulties.
I have some physical limitations, can I modify some of the exercises?
Yes, of course! At our initial meeting, I will learn about any limitations, injuries or surgeries that you may have and develop a plan to work around them or strengthen those areas if needed.
What happens at the first session?
The first session is a discovery session, where I provide you with an intake form, ask questions and we perform some basic exercises so that I can develop a customized plan suited to your needs.
How many sessions do I need a week?
The number of sessions is completely up to you. Joseph Pilates famous quote is: "You will feel better in ten sessions, look better in twenty sessions, and have a completely new body in thirty sessions." The more sessions you do a week the faster you will feel better and see results. One, two or three sessions a week is a typical amount for my clients.
How do I schedule my sessions?
Session are scheduled directly with me at the end of each session. You can chose a standing appointment that happens weekly or you can change the day and time weekly based on your schedule and availability.

My private studio is in my home in Clarkston, Michigan. I have a Pilates studio with Pilates equipment.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable workout clothes so you can move freely. You will be performing the exercises in our bare feet so you do not need to be concerned about your gym shoes. You may also wear toe socks with grips on the bottom For women with long hair, it is best to wear your pony tail on top of the head.
