Angie has taught movement in one form or another for almost 40 years, starting when she was 12 years old assisting dance and gymnastics classes. She was certified as a Post-rehab Practitioner of the Polestar method of Pilates in 1996. In 2012, she graduated with a Master Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental medicine and most recently finished her certification in Bach Flower Essence Therapy. Angie lives with a belief that movement is medicine. The movement can be large and expressive, it can be a breath, the movement of qi from a needle insertion, or the vibration of a flower …but it will always speak to your soul. It will always make a change in your cellular body as well as your energetic body when used with careful intention. Angie is trauma-informed trained, and is here to gently support you, in your own timing, with your personal journey of wellness, and finding a more comfortable life.

I fell in love with Pilates in 2007. As a cyclist and runner with minor aches and pains, Pilates was the magic pill to my recovery. Shin splints were a thing of the past. I credit Pilates for my full term twin pregnancy and postnatal recovery. Prior to my twins’ birth, I assisted families and their loved ones in finding housing options when they could no longer live at home. She also provided case management services for seniors when their loved ones weren’t able to be present, acting as their eyes and ears. Helping people is my passion. I am a STOTT PILATES Certified Instructor in Matwork and Reformer with training in Stability Chair, Cadillac, Injuries and Special Populations, Barre, and various props. In my spare time, I enjoy gardening in my greenhouse, creating loom bead bracelets, and spending time with my husband, twin boys, and dog outdoors and snuggled up on the couch.

My love for Pilates began in 2003 following a snowboarding injury. In addition to helping me rehab from my injury, I found a more mindful way to move, breathe, increase awareness and identify imbalances in my body. I began the transition away from my corporate career to become a Pilates instructor and received my certification in 2008. I am a fully certified STOTT Pilates instructor with continuing education including Injury and Special Populations, Pre and Post-Natal and Athletic Conditioning.

I believe Pilates is for everyone and that movement can uplift our mood, increase mobility and mental wellbeing. I love working with clients of all ages, abilities and movement backgrounds and creating specialized programming to help them achieve their goals. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy long walks in nature, spending time with my family, snowboarding, cooking and relaxing with a good book.
