Helene was born and raised in Southern California and relocated to the Pacific Northwest in early 2018. Helene started her journey with Pilates in 2014 when she decided to take charge of her health. Helene had been aware of Pilates for some time and had studied Ballet for several years as a child. She fell in love with the movement and the science behind it, so much so that she wanted to become an Instructor to share the love and benefits of Pilates with others.
