I took my first barre class 8 years ago after having twins & fell in love with it! I’ve found barre to be the perfect accompaniment to my running routine & low impact on my joints. My goal is to share my passion of barre with people of all ages while strengthening and toning muscles in the process. So excited to be part of the True Barre community!!

Coming from a dance and gymnastics background, I found Pilates after recovering from a knee injury. I became a Pilates instructor in 2019 because I wanted to create a space where there were options for everyone, no matter where they were in their fitness journey as well as share my passion for Pilates. I started teaching yoga and barre as well, with the same intention of bringing options to everyone and help others find joy in fitness. I strive to help others build strength and feel good in their body mentally and physically. True Barre is such an upbeat, fun, and supportive community and I’m excited to be a part of it!

I was drawn to True Barre as a place where I could both unwind and push myself in a fun, uplifting environment. When I first discovered my love for Pilates I was in dire need of a mental break from my studies. It quickly became my go-to way to take a break from long study sessions and recalibrate my mind and body. What sets True Barre apart is its incredibly welcoming and encouraging atmosphere; it truly feels like a community. As an instructor, my goal is to create a positive, supportive space where people can connect with their minds and bodies through movement. With such a variety of classes offered, I believe there’s something here for everyone and a way for each person to find joy in movement.

True Barre has been an outlet for me to work on my mental and physical wellbeing alongside the most uplifting community I’ve ever seen. I have gained so much self love and confidence since starting my TB journey, and I couldn’t be more grateful. My goal as an instructor is to help others shift their mindset to love their beautiful bodies and help move in a way that feels empowering, fulfilling, and meaningful. This is truly my happy place and I am so honored to have the opportunity of being able to share this wonderful experience with the community.

I have been practicing yoga for the past 5 years and got my certification around 2 years ago.
The more I practiced I felt myself growing so much physically and mentally. I had a strong desire to help others feel the same empowerment and to be an encouraging part of their journey. I found that I thrived teaching more fitness style classes like yoga sculpt and was eager to teach more classes similar to this.
I started taking Pilates and barre classes online and instantly fell in love with the way I felt during and after class. I am so excited to share my knowledge and give others the feeling!

Coming from a competitive dance background, barre has always been something that I have enjoyed doing! The high energy, upbeat music, and the supportive environment is what really drew me to True Barre. After taking all the different styles of classes I realized that there is something for everyone to love here at the studio and that’s when I knew I wanted to help people find what they love too! While taking Pilates and barre classes I strive to transform myself not only physically and mentally, but to be an encouraging guide to help others feel the best they can mentally and physically.
