Kathleen was introduced to Pilates in 1985 when she was between professional jazz dance gigs. She met, studied with and eventually worked for Elizabeth Jones-Boswell, M.Ed., who had rehabilitated herself from a devastating back injury and two surgeries, using the Pilates Method. Kathleen found that Pilates was not only useful for rehabilitation work, she noticed it also improved her own dancing and skiing. She likes to say that Pilates is the vegetables to her dancing that is dessert. After teaching Pilates for about a decade, Kathleen found the Conversations with God books by Neale Donald Walsch. She noticed many similarities between the Pilates approach to movement and the spiritual themes in the CWG books. This added a much deeper level to her Pilates practice and continues to provide, in a practical way, the 'mind/body/spirit' connection we talk about. Kathleen helps her clients find that connection within themselves while helping them realize they don't need to feel the burn to enjoy living in their body and to have the body they want.
