Vanessa has been teaching for over 25 years. She began her career as a yoga instructor, focusing on alignment and yoga therapy.

After experiencing 2 years of chronic nerve pain from a series of spinal issues, she then discovered pilates. The focus on strength and mobility that pilates offers got her out of pain and she is now back to living a life full of hiking with her dogs and world travel. Vanessa loves sharing this fun, therapeutic and empowering practice with her clients because she knows how truly powerful it is!

In her private practice, Vanessa has experience working with athletes, cancer patients, those who are on the other side of cancer treatments, osteoporosis, clients suffering from injuries and chronic pain, hypermobility and simply those who are looking to build more strength and flexibility.

For those looking for the group class experience Vanessa teaches a barre/strength class that incorporates weights, resistance bands and music. Her classes focus on the core and strengthening the stabilizer muscles. She is also available for barre private sessions if you are looking for one on one attention or have injuries you are working with.
