Hello!

I'm Emma (she/her), a mat and reformer/pre+post natal certified Pilates instructor with a background in contemporary dance based in Toronto, Canada. I have been passionately teaching movement full-time to a diverse clientele for over a decade.

 

My Pilates story unfolded in Montreal, where I was deeply engaged as a dance teacher and independent artist while simultaneously navigating the intricacies of my own mental health. Pilates became my anchor, a river that grounded me in both physical and emotional well-being. Moving my body in a low-impact way became a ritual of care. Weaving through my body's encounters of auto-immune disease and my healing journey through trauma, I continue to experience the transformative power of a Pilates practice. For me, exercise has always been about meeting myself on a deeper level. Flowing with breath to build a strength that is functional and empowering for everyday life. I have personally experienced the immense benefits of tuning in and tuning up the body on a daily basis to keep myself mobilized, pain free, and resilient. I can't wait to share this passion with you!

​

I start everyday with a matcha latte and love baking new gluten free recipes. When I'm not talking about the breath, you can find me singing in a community choir, making a mock-tail, bouldering with friends, jumping in the lake, loving on family and friends or planning my next travel adventure.
