Laurie S.
Pilates Instructor
Laurie is a licensed teacher and certified tutor retired from 30 years of teaching in public, private, and home schools. For nearly two decades, Laurie battled ever-increasing, debilitating, chronic pain, seeking relief through every test, therapy, and procedure offered by both traditional and alternative medicine. Her pain was ever worsening, and nothing brought relief. During these years, all physical movement was painful and difficult, and Laurie was unable to do much more exercise than daily walking. Finally, out of desperation, Laurie adopted a gluten-free, whole-food, entirely plant-based diet, and her pain immediately began to lessen. Within weeks, all of her pain was completely gone, and she was able to begin exercising again. Her daughter introduced her to Pilates, and she was immediately hooked! With the dietary change and taking up Pilates, Laurie lost 45 pounds, and she now feels better than she ever has in her lifetime. She is thrilled to combine her decades of teaching experience with her passion for Pilates to help others discover the life-transforming power of Pilates for everyBODY. As a comprehensively certified Pilates teacher, Laurie looks forward to seeing others transformed by Joseph Pilates’ truth that, “Change happens through movement, and movement heals!”
