As a certified personal trainer I began my Pilates experience at an international fitness conference, where I was instantly awestruck by the extraordinary work.
I immediately started training for my certification at the Pilates Studio in NYC. I was fortunate to have as my teachers, master instructors Romana Kryzanowska and Sari Mejia Santo. Romana was Joseph Pilates protégé. I was privileged to have had private lessons with both Romana and Sari for many years. Among the many teachers I have trained with are Bob Liekens, Ton Voight, and Michael Fritze to name a few.
Romana’s certification was a year of intense physical training. I was trained to teach with integrity and commitment to the original work which requires talent and extensive knowledge. Through Romana’s certification program I received rigorous, hands-on training which Joseph Pilates deemed necessary to teach his method.
I received my full certification in 1998, opened my studio in Ridgewood, New Jersey and since have relocated to Venice, Florida. It has been my pleasure to continue to be exposed to and trained by some of the best teachers in the Pilates community. I am currently certified Romana’s Pilates and stay updated through continuing education.
