Kimberly discovered Pilates in 2005 while searching for a fitness routine that would offer a balance of stretch and strength building. She was drawn to the routine and flow of Pilates, reminding her of her dance education, and surprised to find that Pilates felt more challenging than some of the high intensity fitness classes she enjoyed. At a young age, Kimberly was diagnosed with structural scoliosis. Pilates has offered her the benefits of creating muscular balance and increased body awareness. Having discovered Pilates shortly after the birth of her second child, she also experienced the results of Pilates training in helping her to regain core strength. Kimberly holds a BS in Biology and Secondary Education from Providence College. Her interest in human anatomy and kinesiology combined with her love of teaching motivated her to pursue instructor certification through Peak Pilates. Kimberly chose the Peak Pilates program for its emphasis on classical Pilates as well as its rigorous and thorough teacher training program. She has obtained the highest level of certification through Peak Pilates and is a Peak Pilates Certified Master Instructor. Inspired by the mind-body connection she has experienced through Pilates teaching and personal practice, she earned her masters degree in Mental Health Counseling from Walsh University. She currently also works as a mental health clinician, taking an integrative, strengths-based, holistic, and compassionate approach with clients to help enhance self-esteem, explore personal values, and promote emotional healing. She specializes in helping clients through life’s stressors and transitions as well as relationship issues. She is passionate about helping others physically and mentally through self-awareness, resilience, and empowerment using client-centered care tailored to each person’s needs.
