Private Reformer Pilates Training- In-Home or Virtual

Yes- I am an Herbalist AND a Reformer Pilates instructor too!

In almost 20 years of teaching Reformer Pilates, it's been very clear that:
a) herbal medicine concentrates on your health from the inside out
b) exercise works you from the outside in
c) Reformer Pilates is uniquely able to improve mind, body, AND spirit thanks to its thoughtful combination of full-body movements and breathing control

Pilates teaches strength, flexibility, coordination, awareness, mindful concentration, adaptability, self confidence and resilience- all traits essential to overall health. 
How many times a week should I do Reformer Pilates?
The standard answer is 2-3 times per week. In reality, it could be 1-5 times per week.
  • Once per week: you’ll maintain your current status quo
  • Twice per week: you’ll see demonstrable changes in your body in about 6 months
  • Thrice per week: you’ll see demonstrable changes in your body in about 3 months, and be well equipped to manage your chronic condition by then too
  • 4+ times per week: you’ll see exponential improvement in the state of your spine health, strength and mobility, breath control and all around health in 3-4 weeks

I have been dealing with back pain (L4 & L5 bulging discs and Spondylolisthesis) for two years... I signed up for physical therapy (even though I had a ton of PT somewhere else with no pain relief), and I signed up for Pilates Reformer.

I have been taking Pilates Reformer classes with Paula 3 days every week. Paula is incredible. She is very attentive in knowing what I can an can't do. I have experienced little to no pain since March. Anyone dealing with back pain should sign up and get relief. My quality of life has changed drastically for the better. - Maggie

Have you never done pilates before? It's really quite a remarkable practice.

The best thing about the years I've spent teaching pilates is the opportunity to work with SO MANY people, over so much time, and through various stages in their lives. It is just amazing to watch transformations happen, both inside the studio and out.

The Ah Ha! moments clients have are the most thrilling part. But the stories people tell about feats of strength and coordination they couldn't have done before pilates are a close second.

Try it! With me, or with someone closer to where you are. Try it with a teacher, in a class, so you have instruction and personalized cues and corrections. Give it a good shot- 10 to 20 classes. Most only need 1 or 2, truthfully, to be firmly convinced.

I work with people who are serious athletes, with people who absolutely hate exercising, with people who have significant musculo-skeletal issues, and with people so out of shape they're surprised at themselves for being in class at all. They are all ages (kids thru 80's!) and they all improve- they all get stronger and more resilient and ache less and get out of bed quicker and sleep more soundly. We humans are remarkably adapted for movement. Give yourself a chance.
