I began utilizing Pilates based treatment with physical therapy patients after attending my first Pilates training course.  I was amazed and encouraged by the success I had with Pilates and decided to seek further training.  In 2006, I completed a year long training series in Pilates which resulted in a certification in rehabilitation.  I learned to modify Pilates exercises for a given diagnosis or injury and how to tailor a Pilates exercise program to the individual. 

I received my bachelors degree from Cal Poly SLO in Physical Education in 1989

My Master of Physical Therapy from UC San Francisco in 1994

and my Doctor of Physical Therapy from Creighton University, Nebraska in 2007
