When I started on my journey with Pilates, I had no idea
that it would take me to so many new places -- challenging not only
my body, but my mind, heart and spirit. The discipline, focus,
centering, precision and balance of Pilates enriches my own life on
many levels. It is one of the major influences that converged in
powerful personal and professional growth and transition into the
second half of my life. It has redefined the shape of my body and
enables me to reach and maintain new levels of strength and
flexibility. It informs my active lifestyle, enhancing my
performance in hiking, triathlon, dance, rock-wall climbing, in-line
skating, and skiing -- and perhaps the most challenging sport of
all, juggling the demands of daily life.

"I am so thrilled with my
progress over the last four years, having trained with
Sue as my personal Pilates coach.
Health challenges led me
to try Pilates as an alternative form of exercise, and
with her expertise, we were able to make the program
work for me. Her knowledge, patience, and caring
attitude have reaffirmed that I am dealing with a winner
- and a true professional."
Lisa

"Sue demonstrates a wealth of knowledge in the many
related fields of wellness: fitness activities,
personal training and women's health.
Her
devotion to health-related education can be witnessed in
the numerous conferences she attends and lectures.
Enjoyable involvement while participating in outdoor
activities has afforded her the opportunity to apply her
exercise expertise."
