Barbi loves working with clients at all levels, from beginner through advanced, but her specialty is working with the injured client, whether that client is dealing with a chronic physical condition or more recent acute injury. She enjoys the challenge of evaluating the physical body when it is not working in an efficient and balanced fashion, and then devising a plan that will help to stabilize, strengthen, and regain healthy functional movement to the injured area and balance to the whole body.
Barbi was trained and fully certified through the Kane School of Core Integration in New York City and holds additional certifications in Teacher Training, Prenatal Pilates, Pilates and Osteoporosis, and Post-Surgical Breast Cancer Pilates. Class sizes are kept small to allow for more personal experience and a deeper connection to the body and the core principles of the Pilates method. Barbi believes in treating the whole body and offers bodywork sessions to complement your Pilates experience. Offerings include Kinetic Chain Release and Lymphatic movement sessions. Her understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, and common injuries will make even the most hesitant client feel confident that they can have a safe movement experience while building strength, balance, coordination, and body awareness. This total body approach is an effective system for alleviating chronic or acute pain and discomfort as well as improving and maintaining optimal physical well-being.
