✨ CLIENT SPOTLIGHT: ALISON ✨ (and Roo)

Alison inspires me.

Born with cancer, she has lived a lifetime of surgeries, chronic pain, and ongoing challenges. And yet, through it all, she has remained active, positive, and full of joy.

She has such a love for animals and people, and there is a warmth and lightness about her that is truly special.

Allison first discovered Pilates while working with her physical therapist. The impact it had on her was so meaningful that she decided she wanted to share it with others. She went on to complete the Pearl Pilates Certification Program with me and became a teacher.

What inspires me most is that even while continuing to navigate surgeries and intense pain, Allison continues to learn, grow, and deepen her understanding of her body. She continues to show up with curiosity, resilience, and a desire to share movement with others.

I am so proud of her and grateful to have been part of her journey. 🤍

Client Spotlight ⭐️ - Mother/Daughter duo Brooke (Brooke Garcia) and Isla! Brooke is a local business owner/real estate agent and mom and Isla is heading in to her senior year - big changes for both ahead!

PearlPearl Pilates Pre-Training Intensive ✨

Join us October 24th–25th at our Bend studio for a two-day Pilates intensive designed to deepen your practice and introduce the upcoming Pearl Pilates Certification Course.

Over the weekend, we’ll spend three hours each on Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, and Chair, moving through the exercises, transitions, and key details of the method.

This weekend is open to clients, teachers, and apprentices to revisit the work, deepen understanding, and review material. Current apprentices may also earn apprenticeship hours.

And even if you’ve taken this weekend before, it can be a completely different experience each time. The group, the questions, the energy in the room, and where you are in your own practice all shape what you take away. There is always something new to notice, explore, or understand more deeply. 🤍

Who is this weekend for?

✨ Anyone looking to deepen their personal Pilates practice
✨ Anyone considering the upcoming Pearl Pilates Certification Course
✨ Current apprentices working toward hours and review
✨ Teachers revisiting and deepening their understanding of the work

October 24th–25th | Bend, Oregon

Client spotlight ⭐️ - Lydia (and mom Maggie 🩷) Lydia started coming to the studio about 15 months ago, when mom Maggie began doing prenatal sessions with me. For 9 months I watched her grow inside her mom’s belly, and now at 6 months old she is coming in and ready to move! Lydia is such a happy and strong little girl, which is no surprise since mom Maggie is a wonderful role model! 😊

Cece & Gigi girl day! Hot and humid here in NJ but didn’t keep us down - playground time, long Pilates session (she’s always been so strong, loves to follow along and asks what’s next), steamers & cookies at my fav little coffee shop close by, and finally a visit to the local library. Here for a bit, and excited to spend time with all my loves ❤️

Client spotlight- Nina ✨

Nina has been taking lessons with Elizabeth at our Pearl Pilates studio in Portland since January and is so excited to join our next teacher training!

Her grandmother, a long time pilates lover, took Nina to her first reformer Pilates class when she was 19, and they spent years going to lessons together.

Nina had an accident when she was 3 that resulted in her left arm being a few inches shorter than her right, with limited grip strength and wrist rotation. Pilates is one of the few movement practices that’s helped her to safely cultivate strength in her left arm without pain.

We can’t wait to see how her practice grows at our upcoming teacher training! 😍 Elizabeth Mitchell Stafford

Client Spotlight ✨ Lois

Lois first came to me several years after her knee replacement, looking for help with a lingering pain that she just couldn’t seem to get past. Since then, combining Gyrotonic and Pilates has helped her tremendously, and it’s been such a joy to be part of her journey.

Lois was a physical therapist for over 20 years and is Gyrotonic certified herself, so she has incredible body awareness and a deep understanding of movement. But what I love most is that none of that has ever stopped her from being a student. She shows up with so much curiosity, always wanting to learn more, understand her body more deeply, and discover new ways to move with greater ease and freedom.

She splits her time between Bend and Houston, where she volunteers as a docent at the Museum of Fine Arts. When she’s in Texas, we switch to Zoom so we can keep the work going. She also loves traveling with her husband, and staying strong and mobile helps her continue enjoying all of the things that are important to her.

Working with Lois is such a gift. I always leave our sessions inspired by her openness, her curiosity, and her willingness to keep exploring what’s possible. ❤️

Celebrated our final Pilates Certification weekend—and the completion of this amazing group’s intensive training—with delicious cupcakes from 🧁

This wonderful group has now completed 78 hours of weekend intensives with me and officially earned their status as certified Pilates apprentices! Their journey continues with 480 hours of observation, practice teaching, self-practice, and class time before becoming fully certified Pilates teachers.

Interested in working with an apprentice at a reduced rate while they complete their certification hours? Reach out to me or contact the studio for more information.

I’m also thrilled to welcome my dear friend and Pearl District Studio Manager, Elizabeth Stafford, as a teacher trainer for the Pearl Pilates Certification Program. It was so special to have her shadowing and learning alongside me throughout this course. 💗

Upcoming certification courses with either me or Elizabeth will be announced soon on the website!
