Christina taught dance to preschool-aged children and adults and later shifted her love of movement and teaching to help folks through physical therapy. She is a practicing Physical Therapist Assistant in Orthopedic and Pediatric settings. “I love using all of my knowledge of the body during my Pilates sessions, and I love using my knowledge of Pilates principles in my Physical Therapy practice!” She enjoys seeing plays, musicals, opera, art exhibitions, bike riding, visiting her kids in Chicago and Toronto, and empty nesting, especially going on coffee dates with her husband.

Amy is a Comprehensive Pilates Instructor who completed her training at Prism Pilates. Her certifications consist of Pilates Reformer and Mat Pilates. Amy is also a 200hr registered yoga teacher. She has been teaching Pilates since 2022 to a variety of students, meeting them at their fitness level and helping them advance to their full potential. Pilates became her passion as she loved the strength, flexibility, and endurance she gained from her practice. Her goal as a teacher is to help students move with confidence by learning the proper mechanics of movement and exercise.

I was introduced to Pilates many years ago during a PT session for some lower back pain. I immediately fell in love with the mind/body connection and the way my body gained strength as well as flexibility at the same time. I completed my comprehensive training through Balanced Body with Nico and was on my journey to helping others. I have previously owned my own studio in Mariemont but I am now content just teaching and helping others with their fitness goals. I love to

teach a full-body workout in a safe, effective way that flows from one move to the next. I am always willing to listen and understand my client's needs and concerns. I am an avid Buffalo Bills fan and love to spend time with my husband and 4 grown children. My winters are spent in the Sunshine State, escaping the cold!
