What Clients Say

"Heidi is a Miraculous Muscle Magician! I am so fortunate & forever grateful to find her as I was desperately trying to get back in shape after childbirth, suffering a major injury along the way. I had lost my confidence in my ability to fully recover & worried that I was destined to suffer from some degree of pain & limited mobility for the rest of my life. Heidi saved me with her extreme knowledge of human body mechanics & muscle connections. She worked with me to regain my confidence believing in my body again. Not only did I recover, but I was able to build my body unlike I have ever done before. If not for Heidi, I know I wouldn’t have the strength, mobility, confidence, & knowledge about my body that keeps me pain-free, strong and fit."

“In order to change, people need to become aware of their sensations and the way that their bodies interact with the world around them. Physical self-awareness is the first step in releasing the tyranny of the past.”

- Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score

“After many years practicing Pilates, I developed some movement restrictions in my left shoulder and hip.  My first experience with Heidi was a miraculous release in my hip after a brief manipulation during a Pilates session.  While I have not experienced chronic pain, I consider my Coaching the Body sessions with Heidi an investment in preventing chronic pain.  And I have much better range of motion in both shoulder and hip as a result of her work and the exercises she recommends.”

The process depends on the clients body.  We start by going real slow, learning how to breathe, engaging/stretching muscles correctly, learning how opposition is the mission to create great posture and a powerful core.  Once this mind-body, breath-core connection is there — then only then — we grow and evolve creating stability, strength, and endurance. 

 

My mission is always to get the client out of pain and make them strong.  Using the springs helps to make engagement safe as it dynamically changes the structure and mobility of the body. 

 

I am a 600+ Comprehensive Classically trained pilates instructor by REAL Pilates in New York and am also trained in Baptiste Power Yoga.

THERAPIES
“Heidi is an outstanding Pilates instructor! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Her class is fun & feels like hip hop pilates—its high-energy, transformative, fast-paced but still incredibly thorough. Her deep knowledge of bodywork shines through, giving me not only a fantastic workout but also an amazing stretch that feels like a bonus. Heidi's energy & motivation are contagious and she pushes me to give my best every time. Despite being in a class of five, it always feels like a private lesson. I leave her class feeling stronger, empowered, and ready to take on more both in & out of the studio.

Artist / Teacher

Healing bodies and my own have been so fulfilling that my art career took a pause. I am an artist --- always & forever --- through & through. Recently learned woodworking and welding to build my own classical pilates equipment! My creation now is taking anatomy into functional movement in each body I work with. 

​

I have been dreaming of my next series of art spiraling around the theme of the sacred divine dance, empowerment of the organic spirit and soul. But my next goal is to host weekend art workshops.

Teaching processes of creating original batik paintings, hand-beaded  earrings, ceramics, printmaking, and watercolor. 

 

I have a BA in Fine Art, AS in Graphic Design, created several series of artwork, a human, and have taught gifted & talented art for years!  

“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”
