Well, that’s a wrap! I passed the Franklin Method Pelvic Power course and am now certified.

What I love about this work is that the pelvic floor is never working alone. It’s connected with breathing, hip mobility and stability, and the low back. My Franklin Method Level 4 training and Certified Medical Exercise Specialist certification give me a strong foundation, and this course has deepened that knowledge even further.

I love seeing how those connections come together, and I can’t wait to share more of this in my private sessions and classes.

Weekend one of the Franklin Method® Pelvic Power certification course is complete! I’m deepening my understanding of pelvic floor function and its connection with the core, breath, and whole-body movement. I can’t wait to integrate what I’m learning into my classes and private sessions.

Stay tuned for details about an upcoming Pelvic Power workshop.

What a great afternoon at our MELT Method Upper Body Restore & Reset Workshop!

We explored how improving fascial glide and shoulder stability can help the upper body feel less stiff, restricted and tense. Then we put it all into practice using the MELT soft roller and MELT NeuroStrength techniques to improve how the deeper stabilizing muscles engage and support the shoulder girdle.

Thank you to this fantastic group for bringing such curiosity and enthusiasm. I loved teaching this workshop and sharing such an enjoyable afternoon with all of you!

After 40 years of teaching movement, I’m still committed to learning, refining, and finding better ways to help my clients.

I’m proud to have completed my MELT Fascia Hydrator Level 1 certification, becoming Thunder Bay’s first certified MELT Fascia Hydrator instructor and part of the first cohort trained in this work.

The Fascia Hydrator doesn’t replace the MELT Method—it amplifies its profound effects. It gives us new ways to support lymphatic flow and nervous system regulation, improve fascial glide, and enhance breathing—helping clients experience less stiffness and tension, more fluid movement, and a greater sense of calm.

I’ve already begun integrating this work into classes and private sessions, with great feedback from clients.

More to come.

I just wanted to feel like myself again.

After slipping and falling, I tore both cartilage and a ligament in my knee. For over a year, I hobbled around and overcompensated so much that my back started hurting too. By the end of each work day, I was exhausted, unsteady on my feet and would easily lose my balance.

I knew my rehab was missing a vital piece, but I just hadn’t found it yet.

Since starting at Ross Pilates, the biggest change has been how confident I feel just moving around every day. My lower-body balance has improved dramatically, I’m no longer overcompensating on my other leg, and I’m moving with smooth, powerful, confident steps.

And a pretty great bonus — I’m now driving the golf ball farther than my teammates!

Pilates challenges my mind and body in brand-new ways. It pushes me to focus on the quality of how I move, not just the physical output.

If you’re thinking about trying it, don’t hesitate.

You might just find it’s exactly what you were missing.
