Can't say enough great things about Sarah!
Most recently, she really helped me with a knee injury.
Tried a few things for a couple months and just did not have
any improvements until my first appointment with Sarah. She is so
thorough and helped to stretch and strengthen my knee. After just
under a month it is completely better.
In the past, I have seen her for group and individual pilates sessions. Sarah really knows her stuff and can help you look and feel your best ever!
Thanks so much for your awesome work, Sarah!

I have taken classes w/other Pilates instructors, what a disappointment. We just went through the exercises, seemed more about repetition than actually doing them correctly. Sarah demos & explains what exercise targets what areas & the benefits of doing them. She makes sure you're thinking about all the different aspects you need to pay attention to as you do the exercise. With her, it's all about doing it correctly, being in control & concentrating on the muscles you're working on. You really begin to understand your body so much better with her. She also helps you individually with your personal issues or ailments. She accurately prescribes the right movements for pains or injuries you've sustained. Not a better instructor around!!!

If you are looking for someone who understands anatomy, who has outstanding knowledge in different areas of fitness, and who can give you an amazing, fun workout, look no further! I'm thoroughly impressed with Sarah as a Pilates Instructor. She is personable, detail oriented, and her experience is reflected in everything she does. Take a class with her and you'll know what I mean! A+

I have been studying pilates for the last 11 years and have taken many workshops from many different teachers and I would put Sarah in the top of the class! She knows her stuff, can explain the exercises in a very understandable way, demo beautifully, and has a very memorable way of instructing the anatomy of the body as it pertains to pilates! She is a joy to learn from and I would highly recommend taking her classes. I am grateful to have had this time studying with her.

I have been studying pilates for the last 11 years and have taken many workshops with many different teachers and I can say from my experience that Sarah is one of the top I have had the privilege of studying from. She explains each exercise in a very understandable way, demos brilliantly,and is a joy to learn from. She knows her anatomy and relates it to pilates in a very memorable way! I highly recommend learning from her....I am glad I have the chance to.

Sarah is an excellent Pilates teacher. She is very knowledge about each very Pilates exercise, its purpose, its effect on the body, and most importantly, what works for “you”. Besides, Sarah is the only teach who can demonstrate every advance Pilates exercise perfectly. I am in Sarah’s class only little over a month, I have learned so much about Pilates exercise. I am doing the Pilates in a much more efficient way and I can feel that my body is responding to that. I cannot say enough good things about Sarah. I am so glad I take her class.
