“Practicing pilates with Erika healed my lifelong ankle issues because what I learned in practice with her changed the way I held and used my body each day. Not only does Erika have a depth and breadth of knowledge when it comes to movement, exercise and physiology (she is a teacher of teachers), but she seems to have a sixth sense when it comes to how people move their bodies so that her cues and descriptions about how to have proper form make sense and my body just responds. It is rare to encounter someone with this gift, it is truly her superpower!! Add to it all her warm and grounded presence that lacks any pretension and that is why she is, by far, the most effective trainer/teacher I have ever worked with.”

“Signing up for a Pilates class with Erika over fifteen years ago changed the trajectory of my life. Under Erika's guidance, I have seen significant improvements in my flexibility, strength, and overall well-being. What I appreciate most about Erika is her unwavering dedication to her clients. She takes the time to understand each client's unique needs and tailors her approach to suit them. Erika is an incredibly talented and dedicated teacher. Practicing Pilates with her will change your body (and your life) for the better!”

“As an experienced teacher myself, I am always looking for teacher trainers who can bring something other than just the repertoire to their sessions. Their own secret teaching sauce that makes their sessions "their's". Erika clearly is an experienced and exceptional teacher with years of teacher training under her belt. However, her biggest skill is just in being 'her'. She brings a special magic of calm, kindness and balance to each session that is purely a part of her personality. Each session has a wonderful pace where a lot of work is covered yet it feels effortless.”
