WELCOME!

My name is Sierra, I am a lifelong dancer and lover of movement.

My journey with movement has been long and varied and I love to help you tap into the resilient and adaptable nature of the body and within yourself.

I often work with clients who are navigating pain, injury, hypermobility, or life transitions such as pregnancy and postpartum, and are looking for a more thoughtful and supportive approach to movement.

I use Pilates, corrective exercise, and traditional strength training to promote balance and help unlock areas of the body that may be contributing to pain or limiting performance.

Join me in movement that expands you.

Sierra is an amazing teacher and a wonderful person. She is knowledgeable about body conditions and makes sure the exercises are safe and challenging. I always feel refreshed and positive after her teaching!

*****

I am a dance teacher that has worked as a fitness instructor for the past 10 years. I do not exaggerate by saying that Sierra is the teacher that teaches teachers!

Sierra has an amazingly detailed and warm approach to the student and their body. She easily picks up on their strengths and natural weaknesses and helps bring focus to the necessary work to better align, engage and move the body she works with into a better overall direction.

*****

I came to Sierra with significant chronic pain from postural issues in addition to being postpartum. She has been working with me 1-3 x per week up to and through my second pregnancy and postpartum period and not only have I been able to reduce the frequency of supportive therapies, I've done it with two kids under 3.

She has a dancer's receptivity and discipline, and has cheered me on through every small gain that now, three years into our work, has had a major impact on what I thought was an intractable problem.

*****

Sierra is the trainer you hope to find but rarely do. She approaches each Pilates session with an incredible eye for how the body moves, drawing on her background as a professional dancer to understand movement at a truly expert level. She’s constantly fine-tuning exercises so you get the most out of every motion while staying safe.

I’ve struggled with lower back pain, and her thoughtful adjustments have helped me build (visible!) core stability and strength. On top of that, she’s an absolute joy to be around and makes you feel at ease the moment you walk into the studio. If you get the chance to work with her, take it! Sierra is the best!
