About ME, Inc.
With over 26 years of teaching experience and a passion for movement, I have dedicated my career to guiding individuals toward lasting transformations through Pilates.
In 2001, I founded Motion Element, Inc., a company built on the principle that movement is essential to overall wellness. In 2006, I introduced boutique fitness to Chicago’s North Shore with the opening of Pilates Studio of Lake Bluff, a tranquil space dedicated to personalized attention and exceptional client care.
In 2018, I shifted my business model to prioritize personal well-being and return to the foundational principles that inspired my passion for teaching. Today, I work with a select group of private clients—in their homes, in-studio, and online—offering flexible, consistent support to help them achieve sustainable change.
I am a Second-Generation Certified Instructor. I completed my comprehensive certification in 1999 through The Original Pilates Studio™ under the mentorship of Romana Kryzanowska, a direct disciple of Joseph Pilates. As a Second-Generation Instructor, I remain committed to preserving the integrity and rich history of the Pilates method while adapting it to meet current industry standards and individual needs.
My mission is to help others achieve longevity through strength, mindfulness, and balance. The effectiveness of my approach lies in creating bespoke programs tailored to each client, ensuring safety and efficacy. Through personalized attention, I empower clients to experience the life-changing benefits of Pilates, regardless of age, ability, or fitness level.
