True Barre has transformed my life, and I knew I had to share it! Which is why I brought it from California to Kansas, to strengthen, empower, and uplift our community!
I earned my personal training certification 7 years ago and completed my True Barre certifications shortly after. Today, I, and every instructor on our amazing team, are certified in both Barre and Mat Pilates through our comprehensive, in-person training programs. With experience in both group and one-on-one fitness, I value continual learning and growth to deepen our understanding of movement and the body.
At True Barre, learning doesn’t stop after certification. Our instructors take classes, collaborate, and refine their skills daily so we can deliver safe, effective, and inspiring workouts.
Barre and Pilates became my passion from the start, and my mission is to create a space where every client feels confident, strong, and empowered!

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.

After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance Performance, I found myself craving another form of movement to help me continue to learn and grow. Having grown up lifting weights and doing heavy cardio, I discovered that True Barre offered the perfect blend of fitness and dance. It allowed me to stay connected to my dance background while challenging my strength in new ways. Barre has helped me reach not only my physical goals, but my mental ones too. I believe everyone starts somewhere and True Barre Lawrence is the perfect place to begin your journey!

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!

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.
