A Unique Approach to Fitness
My approach to movement draws from both Pilates and GYROTONIC®, two highly intelligent exercise systems that build strength, mobility, coordination, and body awareness without asking you to beat your body into submission.
I thrive on movement that feels purposeful and challenging, but also rhythmic, curious, and genuinely good to be inside of. Through breath, precision, resistance, and flow, we work toward something more lasting than simply getting through a workout: a body that feels stronger, more capable, and more at home in itself.
With more than three decades of experience in fitness, dance, massage, and rehabilitative exercise, I bring an anatomical eye to the work while leaving plenty of room for intuition, creativity, and individuality. No two bodies move exactly the same way, and I don’t believe there is one perfect way to move. Our sessions are about paying attention, understanding what your body needs, and finding a way forward that feels both effective and sustainable.
Whether you’re an experienced mover, returning to exercise after time away, or simply looking for something different from the usual fitness experience, my goal is to help you move with greater awareness, confidence, strength, and freedom. Rather than making movement another thing you have to conquer, I want it to become a way of reconnecting with your body, feeling more at home in yourself, and maybe even having a little fun along the way.
So, where does the Cosmic come in?
What began as a creative spark between two lifelong passions, Pilates and astrology, slowly evolved into something much deeper.
Long before Cosmic Pilates officially existed, I found myself fascinated by the idea that movement and the cosmos might already be speaking the same language. As a lifelong student of the body, I began exploring the ways our physical patterns, emotional experiences, and inner landscapes are connected, not as separate systems, but as parts of one larger story.
That curiosity deepened in 2018 when an astrology app sparked a new question: what if movement could support us through our own inner seasons, as well? In 2019, I brought the idea of creating zodiac-inspired Pilates sequences to the gym in Austin where I was working, and they were supportive of the concept, giving me the opportunity to begin developing the routines that would become Cosmic Pilates. What started as a playful experiment combining two lifelong passions began to take on a life of its own.
Then came the big launch in 2020…and we all know what came next: lockdown. In the middle of a very strange and uncertain time, I found myself incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to study the language of astrology more deeply with respected Salem, Massachusetts astrologer, Don Cerow. What began as a creative project suddenly became a much deeper exploration of astrology as a symbolic language—and the more I learned, the more I realized there was so much more to explore. Cosmic Pilates needed to go deeper, too.
Over time, I realized Cosmic Pilates was never meant to be astrology layered onto fitness as a novelty. Instead, astrology became a symbolic language, a way to explore the patterns, strengths, challenges, and possibilities already living within us. Rather than asking, “What should I be?” Cosmic Pilates invites a different question: How can I more fully inhabit who I already am?
Through movement, reflection, and the exploration of archetypes, Cosmic Pilates offers a way to bring these ideas out of the realm of personality and into lived experience. It is less about prediction or performance, and more about presence, curiosity, and embodiment; a way to explore the rhythms and seemingly opposite qualities within us, from strength and softness to effort and rest, stability and change.
For me, this is where Pilates becomes something more than a workout. Cosmic Pilates is an invitation to listen inward, move with greater awareness, and develop a deeper relationship with the body as an intuitive, cyclical, and deeply personal source of wisdom. It is a practice of movement, mythology, and self-discovery, rooted in the belief that sometimes the most transformative thing we can do is reconnect with what has been living within us all along.
