I’ve had the privilege and honor to be with Inferno Hot Pilates since 4/19/2013 as a student and then a IHP instructor on 12/2015. I was inspired to share the love of IHP and inspire others to feel good about themselves and make a impact on improving their health and wellness, both physically and mentally. I am able to create relationships and guide them through often life changing transformations. My teaching philosophy is simple is not always easy.

My Background

I used to be in finance for 24yrs, I started working when I was 16yrs old and slowly moved up to mortgages. I worked for many different finance companies and mortgage companies, 8yrs ago the finance company I worked for closed and we were all let go, that is when I decided to become a IHP instructor full time !!! it’s one of the best decisions I ever made. I am also a mom to a wonderful daughter, a wife to a husband that I have been with since I was 19, best of all a grandma to 2 fur babies

Why I Teach IHP

I love how IHP changed me to the person I am today (confident, aware, sure of myself, strong) the list goes on I want to share that with our students, staff and everyone I meet. I want to make a change in someone’s life, I want people to feel good with who they are!! IHP has created a long lasting affect on me, that I can do anything and that I will do whatever it takes to reach any goal not just for myself but everyone around me. IHP has made me powerful beyond belief, and I want to share that.

My Approach

I use showmanship from the moment the student walks in the door! from welcoming them to our studio with a BIG (Hi Welcome), asking them questions (what brought them to our studio, what are their goals, give them a tour of our studio) I start building rapport right away (I mirror and match as well), I am always in a power stance pose. (1st impressions are everything) I carry the same energy in class with them. The students feel welcome, they feel seen & heard, it’s how we make them feel.

My Community

I motivate students by providing encouragement words during the workout & during the quick breaks, I use music! it’s so powerful especially during those burpees or during a challenging class, music moves people and combined with our motivation it can move mountains. I also go up to students tap them on their shoulder and tell them( good job you got this) or make eye contact with them.

My Career

I have become a better mentor to our in house trainees and our staff, I am able to share my knowledge with our staff so that we are able to inspire others and reach our goals. Inferno Hot Pilates has made be believe in myself to make a significant impact to our students and community. There is a saying that says (what if a fail ? but what if you succeed ?) I have never questions myself again.
