Liv
Instructor
Liv is a Balanced Body Comprehensively certified instructor and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Digital Media and Design from the University of Kentucky. At the age of 10, Liv was diagnosed with a rare hip disease called Legg-Calve Perthes Disease. Liv always grew up knowing hip and back pain which interfered with day to day routines. She also was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at only 9 months old. With these two serious illnesses, there were several up-hill battles she had to overcome. It didn’t defeat her, but only motivated her. In the spring of 2017, Liv underwent a full hip replacement. During this time, Liv’s mom was going through the Balanced Body program and recommended she give it a try. Learning how to walk again, Pilates helped her become a more confident version of herself all while tremendously improving her pain and muscle gain. She fell in love with the new ability to move and decided to go through the Balanced Body Pilates program just like her mom to help other people who are in the same position. If you read this and relate to her story, she wants to help you reach your own goals. Her mission is to motivate, inspire, and build your strongest, healthiest, and pain-free self!
Liv also has a passion for photography. She has worked for several different companies and has ran her own business for 10 years. Each of her photoshoots, she donates a portion to the Susan Komen Foundation in honor of her late mother. She hopes to combine both of her passions for Pilates and photography together in the near future.
