Hi, I’m Cristina. 🤍
I’m the owner and instructor behind Arc & Oak Pilates, and I’m so happy you’re here!
I’ve always loved movement. Growing up, I loved playing sports and staying active has always been something important to me. During COVID, I discovered mat Pilates, and it quickly became so much more than just a workout. It became a way to slow down, reconnect with myself, and move with intention.
I’ve always loved working with people. I originally studied Hospitality Management because I loved creating meaningful experiences and celebrating life’s special moments. Looking back, I think that’s always been part of who I am.
When I moved back home to Marshall I began working in a chiropractic office, where I found an even deeper appreciation for health and wellness. Then I became a wife and, soon after, a mom. Motherhood gave me a new perspective on taking care of myself—not just for me, but for the people I love most.
Like so many moms, I found myself dreaming about a way to build a career I was passionate about while also being present for my family. I wanted to create something that brought together everything I love—movement, wellness, community, and serving others.
And that’s how Arc & Oak Pilates was born.
My hope is that this studio becomes more than just a place to work out. I hope it’s a place where you feel welcomed, supported, and encouraged—a place where you can move with intention, grow stronger and more confident, and leave feeling better than when you walked in.
Whether you’re brand new to Pilates or have been practicing for years, I’m so grateful you’re here. Thank you for following along and supporting this dream. I can’t wait to meet each of you and welcome you into the Arc & Oak community. 💚
