Testimonials

I have had scoliosis my whole life, crooked enough to warrant wearing a brace when I was a teenager. I never thought much about it and as I grew older and had more chronic pain, no doctor suggested that the scoliosis, the way I held my body had anything to do with it.

It was only after my spinal fusion that I discovered pilates and Andrea.  She has literally completely changed my understanding and relationship to my body, my scoliosis.

Over the years I have learned to access muscles I never knew existed, strengthening my weak side such that I no longer will need a knee replacement. Andrea has a gift.

She has an intuitive sense of your body, what needs to be supported and strengthened, always I feel lighter, more spacious after our sessions together.

She would watch me move, she could see how I was compensating and create a situation that would only allow me to use the muscles that were meant to be used. It was miraculous, it is as if I am learning to speak to my body in a way I did not know was possible.

I plan to continue my work with Andrea for as long as I am alive and well.

Training with Andrea has been awesome. She guided me through recovery after my first pregnancy, helped me prepare my body for my second, and supported me through some serious back issues with thoughtful, customized routines.

She listens and tailors every session to where your body is that day. Andrea is knowledgeable, caring, and intuitive. I’m so excited for everyone who will now get to experience her guidance at her new studio!

When I first came to Andrea’s class, I was stiff, tight, and had very limited mobility. Since then, she’s completely transformed the way I relate to my body.

I’m more aware of my posture and movement, and I often find myself applying her teachings at home—whether I’m standing at the sink or stretching on the floor. Andrea brings both deep knowledge and genuine passion to her teaching.

I truly appreciate how committed she is to her own learning and how thoughtfully she shares that with her students. Beyond all that, she's simply a joy to be around. Working with her has been one of the most valuable investments I’ve made in my well-being.

“I had the privilege of taking my initial Pilates training alongside Andrea, and from the beginning, I was struck by her dedication, humility, and quiet strength. She brings a rare combination of charm, hard work, and deep respect for the original work of Pilates. Watching her teach and grow has been nothing short of inspiring.

Andrea shows up—not just for herself, but for her students—with an unwavering commitment to helping others find strength and understanding in their own bodies.

She doesn’t impose; she partners. She’s ready to work with anyone who is ready to do the work, and that kind of generosity and openness is powerful.

I’ve always admired how grounded she is in the classical method, and how she holds space for others to rediscover its brilliance. I’ll never forget how, during the early days of COVID, she’d say how much she missed the Reformer—how genuinely she missed the work, the feel of it, the connection to it. That kind of love doesn’t fade, and it’s exactly what makes her teaching so honest and so effective.

I respect Andrea deeply. I admire her tenacity. And I’m continually awed by her ability to keep coming back to the work with integrity and heart. Anyone who gets the chance to learn from her is lucky.

I have truly enjoyed working with Andrea over the past several years to make subtle yet meaningful improvements in my posture and core strength.

She always comes to our lesson with a thought-through plan, and has an uncanny ability to spot and correct the most subtle misalignments as we move through the exercises she’s laid out.

Sometimes, it feels like I’m just changing the way I think about my body position without actually moving, and yet she sees the shift and acknowledges it.

Andrea is truly gifted as a Pilates instructor.

Andrea is an exceptional Pilates instructor with a deep understanding of human anatomy.  

She creates the exact set of routines that my body seems to ask for during a given session, addressing both immediate issues and long-term goals for building strength and flexibility.

Her incredible knowledge combined with her supportive teaching style makes every session both challenging and genuinely fun, and I look forward to each workout with her.
