Karen’s philosophy is that Pilates is something that should be available to all ages and all ability levels. She wants her clients to know that exercising doesn’t have to be a chore, but fun and something to look forward too!

She also has over 100 hours of studying through Stott Pilates in Beginner and Intermediate Reformer, and Beginner and Intermediate Mat. Karen also teaches fitness on the Gravity machines and has her certifications in Post Rehab (shoulder and knee), as well as Personal Training. Karen has also attended Gravity workshops covering Pilates on the GTS, Blast workouts and Group Training. Karen is a member of IDEA Health and Fitness Association.
