ABOUT ME

"I was a die-hard "Ellen-only" Pilates student pre-pandemic. I feel so lucky I've gotten to keep up my practice with zoom private Pilates sessions from home. She's helped me stay fit through an ankle replacement and my pregnancy and always brings a level of rigor, intensity and creativity I've never found with any other Pilates instructors in the two decades I've been practicing. For anyone who thinks Pilates isn't a workout, I challenge them to take a class from Ellen and they'll soon be proven wrong…in all the best ways!”

As an ex-athlete, I have so many nagging injuries. My back would tighten up after weight training or exercise, and my flexibility and core strength were not getting the love they needed. Even multiple stints to physical therapy didn’t do it for me. I had been told I needed to try Yoga or Pilates but none of it seemed approachable. I met Ellen and she told me she could have me ready for classes in just a couple private sessions. True to her word, she was patient and tailored the sessions towards my deficiencies while taking the time to explain why we were doing what we were doing. Fast forward a few years later and Ellen’s classes had become a staple in my fitness routine at least 3x per week. When the pandemic hit, I was crushed that I couldn’t keep going but she again went above and beyond. Ellen advised me on a reformer purchase and set up private virtual training sessions to keep me going. No two sessions were alike and it was clear she spent time making sure my program was tailored to exactly what I need. I travel often and have been forced to try other instructors and studios when I am on the road. I can unequivocally say that Ellen is the best pilates instructor I have experienced. If you can get into her schedule, your body will thank you.

"Ellen is an amazing instructor! Her classes are always creative and get me sweating. She has an encyclopedia of knowledge on how to target every muscle, and also to stretch and rejuvenate. Highly recommend!”

"Ellen targets her instruction based on the age, skill & capabilities of her students. I have benefitted from both her online zoom classes and personalized reformer sessions. She is the consummate professional and tuned in to the needs of all attendees and students.”

Ellen makes working out fun while providing creative ever challenging routines. She models her vast knowledge of Pilates on both the mat and reformer, in person and remotely. I appreciate Ellen's ability to modify for individual’s needs.”
