Client Reflections

“Kaitlin's style of teaching, while demonstrating respect for and advanced grasp of the Pilates framework, is expansive, creative and open minded. She always encourages me to do what feels best, to listen to my own body, only using Pilates and its equipment as the foundation on which to rest my movement exploration. Kaitlin is perceptive and thoughtful, and brings joy and kindness to every session. She listens to what movements I am craving, and expertly designs the hour to meet all my goals. You can trust Kaitlin whether you are a novice or advanced Pilates student; you will be respected and challenged!”

“I am an almost 70 year old woman, fairly active. Over the years, I’ve worked out with different trainers (weight, Pilates), taken different exercise classes and danced as a competitive ballroom dancer. I’ve had both knees and both hips replaced. Lately, however, I’ve noticed my balance does not seem to be as good as it was and I had difficulty getting off the floor without using my hands. I’ve been working with Kaitlin for a little over 2 months (twice a week) and the difference is amazing. My balance, flexibility and strength are much improved and I can get up from the floor now without using my hands or something for support. For me, that has been huge! Kaitlin challenges me and watches everything I do like a hawk to make sure I’m using the proper technique to get the greatest benefit. I’ve never had a coach or trainer who pays such close attention and has gotten such great results in such a short time. She’s great to work with—gives you funny analogies to remember how to do something and is very nice. I think her combination of skills make give her a unique and helpful perspective. Not only is she a certified Pilates instructor and personal trainer, but she is a professional dancer with an MFA in Choreography—all meaning she knows how the body moves and how the muscles work. You can tell that she takes what she does very seriously and wants to give her clients the best possible service. Highly, highly recommend Kaitlin.”

“I went searching for pilates because my body was telling me I needed to balance out the muscles I'd been overusing playing tennis all my life. I lucked into finding Kaitlin, and I couldn't be happier! I am building my core and strengthening my hips, which has greatly reduced the pain I was feeling from chronic tennis injuries. Kaitlin customizes both her individual and group classes to the needs of her clients, and explains how the body is moving and working. It's been not only great for my overall health, but she makes it a ton of fun as well. I would (and do) recommend Kaitlin to anyone who wants to feel better!”

“I started a 12 session series with Kaitlin late summer 2021. After years of a desk job and a baby, I was really struggling to get back to my prior workout routines and was having a lot of pain after pushing myself in a workout. I also was feeling very achy in my lower back for hours each morning. Kaitlin tailored our sessions to address my problem areas and gave me clear instructions for exercises to do between lessons. It felt slow at first, but then I started to learn and appreciate all the micro-movements Kaitlin was taking me through to strengthen my core and beyond my. I still feel achy from time to time, but I know how to move through it now. What’s more, I’m back to running, feeling strong in my body and feeling confident to move how I want to for play in my life. So grateful to Kaitlin!”

“I've loved working with Kaitlin over the last few years! She is a wonderful instructor with great cues, modifications, and insight into the body. I've taken individual pilates classes, duets, and group classes and couldn't recommend more.”

— Carlyn

“Inclusive. Empowering. Joyful, Spirited. I love Yummy Bodies classes because Kaitlin really listens to what her students’ bodies need each class and then provides instructions that work for everyone without making anyone feel singled out or less capable. In fact, she does the opposite, using accommodations as moments to celebrate and relish in different types of movement together. I thought I had a solid grasp on movement and breathing, but Kaitlin has given me an increased understanding of and appreciation for how my muscles, skeleton and organs function and revolutionized my relationship with movement.”

“My core is so much stronger since working with Kaitlin. One of the best fitness instructors I ever had and with her fun personality, The class is a joy. You almost forget how hard your working until you find strength in areas you hadn’t before!”

— Judy

“I’ve had many yoga, pilates and exercise instructors over the years, just like my time in school a few stand out as exceptional, like Kaitlin.  Kaitlin’s knowledge about the body, proper form and varied class formats coupled with her charming and funny personality are a great and repeating experience for me.  I feel wonderful after her class.  That’s the best!”

— Cathy

“Generosity. Openess, Knowledge, Experienced. Playfull. I first approached Kaitlin to learn more about pilates when I began experiencing hip pain over a year ago. I knew immediately that I could entrust her with the complexities of my body's history. Kaitln's knowledge and experience, as well as openness to new information and methodologies, made me feel safe in her care. Kaitlin has provided me with movement experiences that have allowed me to maintain mobility, gain strength, and learn to trust my body again. Her playfulness and rich use of imagery make every session an absolute joy.”

“Always something new to work on. After the last year with Kaitlin, I noticed my neck pain improved, increased my mobility for golf, and gained a few extra pounds of muscle.”
